Keith Calaway is the Recreational Athletic Specialist for The Freedom Institute. He is a mentor and teaches relevant softball and baseball skills, tactics, and techniques to monitor the participants' performance and provide constructive feedback. Keith, who played softball for 22 years, holds classes with the organization informing the participants on the importance of health, nutrition, and the proper rest to be competitive in softball and baseball games.
His involvement in the program keeps the youth engaged and provides and gives them an outlet to stay out of trouble while encouraging them to reach their full potential as athletes, even aspirations of those who want to become pro. Keith works to build relationships with the youth to provide a program where they can confide in any issue and obtain the resources they may need.
Services provided through the organization include lunch and snacks, educational programs, program merchandise (t-shirts), and field trips. The participants are taught the fundamentals of softball and baseball in a safe environment. Interaction with peers helps build friendships, confidence, communication skills, develop personal strengths, channel creativity, promote exercise, create teamwork skills, gain independence, responsibility, and perseverance.
Keith believes the youth are our future. His vision for the program is to travel more to compete statewide with transportation for the youth to attend events outside the organization and attract more youth as competitive athletes with available resources having the best equipment and a supportive environment to produce well-rounded athletes.
Keith and his wife Gayle Calaway reside in Bainbridge, GA.
