The City of Billings Parks and Recreation Department is excited to announce its newest adaptive recreation program, starting February 23rd: Love Serving Autism!
The goal of this program is to develop life skills and communication through therapeutic tennis and pickleball instruction – serving individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and developmental and physical challenges.
Here’s some background on the program's stellar LSA coach:
“Hello! My name is Riley Gilsdorf, I am 20 years old and I am a senior Human Services major at Montana State University-Billings. After graduation, I hope to find a fulfilling career working with the people in my community. For the past few years, I have been coaching tennis with many groups, including Billings Parks and Recreation, Billings Tennis Association, Big Sky Pickleball, and Tennis Club, and Billings West High's girl's tennis team. I have been playing tennis since I was 8 years old and have fallen in love with the sport!”
Love Serving Autism will be every Friday for 5-weeks.
We are excited to add more adaptive recreation programs and another regular offering building on the success of Miracle League of Billings!
