Callies coached AAU track & Field for ten year and AAU Basketball for fifteen years. His first encounter with AAU sports occurred while teaching Math and Science at a parochial middle school and Athletic Director. He coached volleyball, basketball and track in the afternoon and weekends when an staff member from the Davis Scott YMCA recognize his coaching skills and talent level of his student athletes. Coach Callies, as he became known, volunteered his time and took some of the kids from the school and merged with local kids from the YMCA and competed at the AAU nationals. After his sons matured beyond playing church league and at the local boys club and he introduced them to AAU basketball. He explained to his son that the game they once knew will become more physical and skilled. It would require more preparation and dedication in order to get better but could still be fun. Coach Callies continue to coach his sons until they were in high school. Feeling as if they had heard his voice long enough as a coach and he had taught them the basic fundamentals of the game it was up to them to prove they were able to compete and overcome some of the adversities that comes along with playing a team sport. For the first time he and his wife were now AAU parents experiencing the low times of what it was like for their child to start the game, sometimes not playing more than two minutes the entire game to getting benched after making one mistake. But, they also experience the high times of their son being the lead scorer, making a steal or playing the whole game. Arlington never charged for his services of coaching AAU sports because he felt it was an opportunity to help his sons and other kids in the community stay in school, create an opportunity to get a scholarship, mature as a person, learning life lessons and becoming good citizens.lihat lebih sedikit
