CPRD is pleased to announce Julie Petersen has been named Sports Coordinator. While she is new to the role of Sports Coordinator, her face is familiar in the sports department.
She has volunteered in the CPRD sports department for nine
years, coaching soccer, basketball and softball; instructing in CPRD sports
camps; scheduling practices and games for Three Rivers League and Jr. Tiger
basketball and Little League softball; running sports clinics; helping with
youth and girls’ NHS basketball; and supervising school facilities during CPRD
athletic events.
“I have been involved because I care about children and
think sports and recreation activities are essential to positive childhood
development.,”
says Julie.
Julie currently serves as Newberg Little League Vice
President and Newberg Youth Football Registrar.
Originally from Forest Grove, Julie moved to Newberg nine
years ago. Her grandfather, John Paola, was Fire Chief in Newberg from 1969 -
1983. She describes her family as
a “sports family.” She is the mother of one boy – Kyle, a senior at NHS, and a
girl, Tori, a student at MVMS. Both of her children have been actively involved
in CPRD programs.
Julie holds a Bachelor of Science, Health and Human
Performance with an emphasis on Exercise and Sport Science from Oregon State
University. For ten years, she owned and operated Fund Your Path LLC, employing
six people. Before that she worked in computer programming and office support
positions at Willamette Industries in Portland.
Recreation Supervisor Mark Martin says, “Julie has been heavily involved with the sports department and an asset for the past nine years through her volunteerism and support. She brings familiarity with our programs, and has relationships with CPRD staff, coaches, and our community partners.”
