The kids were dismissed from school a couple of weeks ago, and summer officially begins on the 20th. What sport(s) will you get involved with? Because I’d like to either cover them or join you, if possible.

If you plan on tumbling onto a gymnastics mat, let me know. If you’re looking forward to catching over a friend in a game of flag football, don’t hesitate to warn me. Are you prepared to take on Ormond Beach’s most fit triathletes (is that even a word?) this summer? I’d love to hear how you train. All sports are game to talk about.

For those of you who may not be involved with sports but like to watch them, I’m also interested. Are you expecting LeBron James to come back and win a championship for Cleveland? Maybe we can watch the NBA Finals together—if it actually lasts long enough. Plan on catching any local sports like the Tortugas or your relatives’ in action? Maybe I could tag along, or simply cover the event.

One of my goals for this quarter is to venture out more into the Ormond Beach sports community, and I find the people who make up the community most helpful in accomplishing that goal. I live in Palm Coast; you guys live here in Ormond, so you know what’s going on, when, where and how I can get connected with the right people.

When it comes to sports, I sincerely believe this area houses the best athletes, of any age, and I want to make sure I highlight everyone. Although I’ve only lived in the area for just under two years, I’m familiar with the rich history of athletes who have come from here, and I know those who are currently making a name for themselves.

So Ormond Beach, I invite you to help me expand my coverage. If you know what happening in the area, don’t be afraid to let me know. And, if you would like for me to attend an event with you, depending on what it is, you just might have a date. I want the city to know me, and I want to know the city.
