As the Levittown Board of Education was honoring the athletic teams, individual athletes and their parents and coaches at this past board meeting, it occurred to me we had missed a key component of the Levittown Athletic success story, our youth programs!
My personal experience in these organizations (my 8 year old Levittown little league picture hangs in my office) puts a unique perspective on the matter. As the picture has yellowed, the memories still linger. The importance of those years for me and the thousands of other kids over these 60 plus years can never be understated.
So here is to you Levittown Youth Council PAL, CYO, Levittown Little league Baseball, Levittown Soccer Club, Tomahawks, Red Devils, LSA, and all the other Levittown organizations and coaches that help shape the youth of this great community.
As we honor the fruits of your labor at a Board of Education meeting, this administrator is cognizant of the thousands of other young girls and boys who have had character forged, teamwork realized, discipline discovered, and felt self-worth so that they could embrace life and not fear it…Thanks.
