COBRA programs range from the funding of teams into existing sports programs (i.e. city leagues, tournaments etc.) to organizing and operating our own leagues and tournaments in a variety of sports. Instructional clinics are put on throughout the year with the cooperation of Thomas Jefferson H.S. basketball and baseball coaches and players. Coaches and players of the 3rd Degree volleyball club kick off our volleyball league with a clinic. Instruction ranges from beginning to advanced skills in all of our clinics. Tournaments are held in wrestling, basketball and softball each year attracting teams from the area. Our basketball tournament is in its 5th year and has grown from 17 teams our 1st year to over 60 teams in 2005. Wrestling was added to the list of activities covered by Cobra in 2005 and now the Cobra Optimist Wrestling Club is the largest wrestling club and only youth wrestling program representing Council Bluffs Community School District. Community service projects include yearly participation in the Pride Week city clean up and COBRA has "Adopted A Highway". The West End Optimist Club has partnered with COBRA in our various leagues and tournaments helping us in many ways. 100's of players, coaches, parents and volunteers have participated in C.O.B.R.A. teams, clinics, tournaments, and community service projects throughout the years. |

Cobra Mission |
The mission of the Council Bluffs Recreation Association is to provide affordable athletic opportunities to the children of Council Bluffs. COBRA will promote parental involvement, and foster community service and civic pride through participation in local charitable and civic endeavors. Opportunities will be offered to children regardless of economic background and athletic ability. We believe that any child wishing to play should not be left on the sidelines because of finances. |
