Read the text and mark the statements True, False or Not stated. BuddyBall Programme Here’s a story of my friend Ally doing BuddyBall! My name is Kevin and I want to tell you about a really cool programme. My best friend and I help with it every summer in the holidays. It’s absolutely awesome! We don’t get paid, but we don’t mind that, because it’s fun and we like helping out. We just give them a few hours of our time every week as volunteers for BuddyBall, an organization that helps kids with disabilities make new friends. It provides the opportunity for children to take part in different sports. The kids do different sports at different times of the year – so football in autumn, basketball in winter and baseball in spring. In summer, we do lots of different sports with them. The programme works both ways. It gives these kids the chance to do sports which they don’t normally have the opportunity to do, and we get the opportunity to try some new and exciting sports and make new friends. So what does a buddy do? At the moment, I am a buddy for an eleven-year-old called Tom. He is in a wheelchair and is a good basketball player, but just like any kid, it upsets him if he misses a shot or makes a bad pass. He starts to cry and doesn’t want to play. Sometimes he gets annoyed and I can see that he wants to give in. So, as his buddy, I encourage him. At the moment, we’re working on our basketball skills together. Now he’s more confident. It’s great to see how he has improved and he doesn’t get upset so easily. My friend Ally is a buddy for a kid called Clara. She hasn’t got many language skills and is also a bit wild! She likes running away. Ally learned how to work with Clara and to get her to join in the games. Now she loves baseball and next week she’s playing in a team. Even though she doesn’t always pay attention to the coaches, she does well and has a good time. Her parents are extremely happy about the BuddyBall programme and they say that Clara is more confident and sociable after her BuddyBall sessions. BuddyBall is a great opportunity for everyone! Differences disappear and we realise that we’re all just kids who love playing sport. I love doing BuddyBall and it gives me so many rewards because I know I’m doing something really useful. True False Not stated Children with disabilities can do different sports in BuddyBall. Kevin and Tom work on their basketball skills three times a day. Most disabled kids prefer football to basketball. Kevin and Ally earn lots of money doing BuddyBall. BuddyBall is an organization which helps disabled kids make new friends. Volunteers of BuddyBall also have the opportunity to try some new and exciting sport and make new friends. BuddyBall sessions haven’t helped Clara be more confident and sociable.
