The fifth session of our More Than Sports Program with Community of Compassion CDC Inc. focused on one of our favorite activities: softball! 29 young people joined us at Christy Rec Center in Cobbs Creek for a fun-filled evening which included a carnival game-style throwing activity as well as a scrimmage designed for teaching and learning, and the participants did an amazing job! The word of the day was “confidence” which all of the young people worked on building and exhibiting during the session! Community of Compassion CDC is one of six Community Evening Resource Centers (CERC) in Philly that are open from 7pm to 2am to provide a safe space for young people and we are thrilled to be able to work together to provide a range of positive activities! Thanks so much to the Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaborative Philly Youth Sports Fund and the Philadelphia Activities Fund for their support of the More Than Sports initiative and Kathryn Riley, Sam Romain, and Heena Desai for volunteering their time at the clinic!. And, thanks as always to Gatorade for providing coolers and goodies! Can’t wait for tonight!🥎
