Lower Makefield Twp Flag Football Team Visits White House

Two local youth sports teams were guests at the White House on May 30, including a Lower Makefield flag football team.

Jim Worthington, NAC Owner and newly nominated member of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, brought the two local youth sports teams to a special event on the south lawn of the White House. The event was for council members and their guests.

The Lower Makefield Township Flag Football team for boys ages 9 – 13 under the supervision of Coach Gordon Workman attended as well as the GPS Crush Volley ball team for girls ages 9 – 13 under the direction of Coach Margie Arm. Crush is part of East Coast Power Volleyball which now hosts a Bucks Division.

The teams had a chance to interact and even toss the ball members of the newly appointed President’s council such as: Herschel Walker, Mariano Rivera, Bill Belichick, Dr. Oz, Lou Ferrigno and Misty-May Traenor. The flag football team tossed the ball with Herschel Walker and the girls volleyball team hit the volley ball with Misty-May Traenor.

“The opportunity for these young athletes to see their sports heroes as well as a sitting president was perhaps a once in a lifetime experience that I was honored to be able to provide through my recent inclusion on this auspicious council,” said Worthington.

“Youth sports is my life’s work and passion,” Arm said, in a statement shared by the NAC. “So it meant so much for our coaches and players to be given this amazing opportunity to interact on the fields with sports legends and to witness our President speak about the value of what we do and the central role that youth sports plays in the mission of this council.”
