In Albuquerque, N.M., a man is working tirelessly to make club sports more affordable for families. Coach Greg Sweet runs his practice like any other club volleyball coach, but without the high price tag that often comes with club ball. He has a genuine passion for helping out kids and wants to see them succeed on and off the court.

Coach Sweet’s dedication and hard work didn’t go unnoticed by Lisa Yuka and her daughter, Jazlyn. The two were inspired to nominate him for a Pay It 4ward award after meeting him last year when he was coaching at Jazlyn’s middle school. They were impressed by his fun, inspiring, and motivating attitude towards the kids, as well as his extra effort in teaching and encouraging them to do their best.

The community appreciates all that Coach Sweet does for the kids and recognizes his efforts in making club sports more accessible to families. Lisa and Jazlyn stepped forward to nominate him for a Pay It 4ward award as a way to show their appreciation for his dedication and service to the community.
