ETFC Youth Recreation

09/03/2026

Hi! My name is Bridget Staerker, and I am excited to be the Youth Coordinator at ETFC!

I was born and raised in East Toledo and am a proud Waite High School graduate. I have a wonderful family that includes my soon-to-be husband, our three amazing kids, and our fun-loving dog, Jack.

When I’m not at ETFC, I love spending time with my family, being outdoors, listening to music, and going bowling in the fall. I enjoy making memories, trying new things, and having fun with kids and families.

I can’t wait to meet all of our new families and children this school year. I’m so excited to be part of the ETFC family and look forward to learning, growing, and making this a fun and exciting year together!

My name is Alec Bacon, and I have been the Youth Athletic Coordinator at East Toledo Family Center. I am very passionate about creating fun, positive, and welcoming sports programs for kids to learn something new in the sports or to even learn new skills and help them build confidence all while having fun!

I enjoy working with families and coaches to make each session an awesome experience for everyone involved. Whether its basketball, tee ball, soccer etc. I love to watch these young athletes grow on and off the field. My goal is to make sure these kids finish playing these sports begging to come back to play again.

When I am not at work I love to be as active as possible. I have had tons of sports experience throughout my life such as soccer, basketball, baseball, football, track, cross country, lacrosse, pickleball, volleyball, golf, and even bowling. I also love to watch sports and spend time with my friends and family. I’m super excited to finally get to know our community more and I look forward to seeing everyone participate in our upcoming programs!
If you see me at any of our programs do not hesitate to say hello!

I look forward to making an impact on our community!
