Introducing Savanna Webb and ENERGIZE!

Savanna Webb

The children and youth hiring team is pleased to introduce Savanna Webb as Leaside’s new Youth Coach, from January to June 2020. Savanna brings several years of experience coaching as a part of a multi-sport youth program, as well as experience mentoring youth and working in a spiritual context. Since COVID-19, Savanna’s work has moved online, and she teaches sports skills and techniques as well as planning and leading online games and activities. Savanna is relatable, motivated, and fun, and we are pleased to have her join our team at Leaside United Church.

Savanna is launching Energize our new program for Youth age 11 and up. With COVID we are all spending too much time sitting in front of screens. Energize will have a focus on exercise and physical activity, with other youth from our church and the wider community. All youth are invited to take part and invite a friend or two to join you.

The program will meet once or twice a month, along with opportunities to connect and share ideas and physical challenges in between. Once it’s safe to do so, we look forward to gatherings in our newly renovated gym! The program will include time to be active, and to practice fundamentals that will develop skillsets useful for many team sports, as well as life more generally.

The first get together of Energize, over Zoom will be Sunday, January 24th from 3-4pm, and will include some time to get to know each other as well as games and physical activity. If you plan to attend or invite friends, please let Emily know (emily@leasideuc.com) and we’ll send you the Zoom link!
