Whatley Named Community Center Sports Director

Whitney Whatley has been named the new Sports Director for the Cheyenne County Community Center in Sidney.

Whatley has been with the Community Center since the leaving Cabela’s where she worked as an executive assistant, and brings her organizational skills and passion for serving the community to her new position.

Both her and her husband are US Marine Corps veterans, and have organized the Helping Heroes Softball Benefit for Veterans over the years, so she has valuable experience that will help her with the amount of detail and coordinating involved to smoothly run the multiple sporting events hosted by the Community Center.

“I want to keep the focus of our sporting events on the fun side, emphasizing that its recreation and should be enjoyable”, Whatley said, adding “Community involvement is the key. It’s important that we reach out to the Sidney community so they know all of what we have to offer.”

Many of the sports activities are for children of all ages, and keeping the lines of communication open with parents is very important to the success of the programs.

“I think that dealing with and keeping parents aware of what’s happening is one of the most important aspects of running these programs smoothly and getting the best results for everyone involved. Making sure parents have access to information is a top priority.”

The center also offers a host of sports activities for adults, and Whatley intends to make sure the programs include as many people as possible, and are designed to be a fun experience to let off some steam with friends and neighbors after a long day on the job.

“After a period of seeing what works and what we can improve upon, we’ll start to focus on areas where we can improve the experience for program participants. I am very excited to be able to work with the community and bring as many fun programs as possible to the Center,” said Whatley.
