Sounds like a great opportunity for the High School students in Orange County. As a Physical Education teacher in Peekskill, I taught a similar course for Peekskill students as an alternative to the regular Physical Education program. Program was very successful and helped fill the ranks of the Volunteers unntil the program was cancelled due to funding.
