| Coach Ledford wins the 2006 Harvey D. Karsevar Coach of the Year Award from the Raleigh Parks & Recreation Dept. The following is the application text submitted by Cindy Williams from Raleigh's Laurel Hills Community Center: Don Ledford began coaching with the Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department in the fall of 2002 at Jaycee Community Center. He may have been influenced somewhat by his father who caoched at Millbrook Exchange Park for many years. I met Don the following year when the City adopted a District system for athletics and I was responsible for the Little League age group that Don coaches. Don has an extensive knowledge of the sport of basketball, but more importantly, he has a love for children and is able to help in their development through sports. He also is an advocate for our department's philosophy regarding youth in sports. He always tries to do what is best for the athlete and the team, while also developing in the player a balance of competitiveness and sportsmanship. I am particularly impressed by his sense of fairness and his dedication to our mission of providing a positive athletic experience. |
