Coach Logan DiCarlo is an AmeriCorps coach at the Boston Teachers Union School in Jamaica Plain. Coach Logan hasn\u2019t wasted any time this year making her mark on the BTU school and getting involved in the Playworks community.<\/p>\n

This month, we kicked off our Playworks Girls\u2019 Basketball Leagues. Coach Logan recruited a full team of 4th and 5th graders to participate in a seven-week league, learning the basics of Basketball and participating in games against other schools across the city. Logan doesn\u2019t only teach basketball skills during her after-school practices, she also holds snack time and study hall every week to offer tutoring and homework help before getting on the court.<\/p>\n

Coach Logan has also implemented a new incentive system at the BTU. She awards \u2018Playworks Dollars\u2019\u00a0<\/span>to students who are playing during recess rather than sitting on the sidelines. Students will cash in these \u2018Playworks Dollars\u2019 on Pie-in-the-Face Day, using dollars to vote on which BTU staff member they want to pie. (Our money is on Coach Logan!) Logan also uses \u2018Logan Dollars\u2019 with her Junior Coaches, awarding them when they meet their goals and demonstrate leadership. The Junior Coaches will be able to use \u2018Logan Dollars\u2019 to hold a pizza party or win small prizes at Junior Coach training.<\/p>\n

Not only has Coach Logan stepped up in her school community, she has also supported our team at Playworks as part of the Rock, Paper, Scissors FUNdraiser<\/a> planning committee. The event was held on November 8. Logan\u2019s whole family came out to show their support, helping us raise $9,000 towards our Basketball Leagues. <\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re lucky to have a motivated coach like Logan representing Playworks in the Boston community. We are confident that she will continue to make an impact at the BTU School and at Playworks for the remainder of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n
