Are your kids part of a sports team that just won its recreational league championship?

Do the kids play in other recreational youth leagues? Are they part of an league or team that deserves recognition?

Are you the coach of an elementary school team of youngsters?

Do you coach a select team that is doing well and merits a story written about it?

If you are the recreation director of a local community, we'd like to run the schedules of your leagues and publish the scores of the games. Send them in to us.

Are you photographer who likes taking pictures of youth teams. If it's a great photograph, send it in to us so we can publish it.

If you son or daughter plays on a team or is into an individual sport and you have a great photograph of him or her, send it in to us.

If you'd like to write about a team or individual who is worthy of a story, write it up and send it in to us. We'll edit it and publish it.

Let the Belleville News-Democrat know about it.

The BND would like to put together a weekly recreation and youth sports page, highlighted by lots of names of local kids and their photos.

But we need your help by supplying us with story ideas, scores and photographs of your event or winning team.

If you have something which might be newsworthy, or have other ideas on information we could present on the page, please email mrenkes@bnd.com or wmayes@bnd.com with what you want to say.
