Coach Ray Cycle

Keep Your Eye on the Ball Not the Ball on Your EYE!

Once upon a time there was this clown or more like court jesture named Ray. Unfortunately, he did not have a last name and felt like a LOSER. Ray dreamed of becoming a Super Saver. He cried a lot because grown men do not cry but growing men do. One day Ray had an insight- everything in nature moved in a great big circle or cycle. Ray from that moment on was inspired to adopt his last name CYCLE.

Ray devoted himself to making people become aware that water, land and air are not FREE but sacred resources. He vowed to awaken people's hearts. Every time Ray experienced conservation it was like a beam of light making him more happy. Ray became reborn by wisdom of his ancestors,"THOSE WHO GIVE BACK TO THE WORLD RECEIVE MANY HAPPY RETURNS . LIFE IS LIKE A GARDEN- YOU REAP WHAT You PLANT.

Ray wanted to share this treasure with all people so he pondered? What do folks like to do to have fun? The answer was to make up a game so people would understand that helping the earth is not just fun but benefits all. Since playing is an art and enjoyable Ray invented the Earth Ball Game. To win in this game is easy- when you achieve a greater attitude of gratitude many happy returns reward your mental victory.

As Ray Cycle I hope to you by showing them that it's fun to conserve resources by playing the Earth Ball Game.
