Meet Lori Endicott-Vandersnick, director of The Greater Springfield Community Sports Development Program (CSDP). CSDP provides training and development in the sports of Archery, Ice Hockey, Tennis and Volleyball. An average of 600 athletes a year receive comprehensive mental and physical training in their sport, both in the competitive arena and off the field. Numerous locally-trained athletes have gone on to compete at the state, regional, national, collegiate and international levels.

The program also reaches about 2,000 youth a year in outreach through schools, after-school programs, camps and neighborhood events. The CSDP maintains strong working relationships with national governing bodies USA Archery, USA Hockey, the United States Tennis Association and USA Volleyball, which all emphasize athlete development and growing the sport.
