The Jackson Parish Legacy League started its season on Monday, April 14th, and will continue to play each Monday through May 19th. Games will take place at 5:30 pm on Field 3 of the Jackson Parish Recreation Department Sports Complex, located at 5254 Hwy 4, just east of Jonesboro.

The Legacy League consists of 21 players divided into two teams that are sponsored by Jonesboro State Bank and Magee Farms. Play is not about winning or losing or even keeping score, but rather is designed to give young people (ages 4-18) with physical, developmental, or cognitive exceptionalities the opportunity to compete in a fun-filled environment under volunteer assistance.

Volunteers play a big part in the games each week, offering as much or as little help as the player needs or wants. Sometimes it will be just guidance or positive reinforcement needed, while other times more physical help may be required. 

If you have a group that would be interested in volunteering to assist with play, as Full Gospel Church and the United Pentecostal Church Youth Group did this week, please contact Christy.lenard@jpsbschools.us. Individual volunteers are also welcome and appreciated. Please include the date your group will be available to volunteer and the estimated number of people that will be assisting.
