UNO Mavericks Athletics Day
I would like to share an exciting event that the Learning
for Life team is doing in conjunction with UNO Athletics!
The UNO Athletics program would like to invite teens ages
14-20 to meet and greet the Athletes, Coaches, Trainers,
Recruiters and more; of the University of Nebraska at Omaha
Programs.
PLEASE CHECK OUT and POST THE ACCOMPANYING FLYER FOR ALL
TO SEE!
This is will be a great opportunity for teens to meet college
athletes and find out what they had to do to “play
college ball”!
Participants will then get to take in the UNO Spring Football
Game! Please pass this information on to your resident athletes
or coaches as it will be an exciting event for all!
Please let me know if you have any questions! GO MAVS!
