2006 Boys' Basketball participants
(Click to see larger image) |
Game Time is a summer basketball clinic for boys, 11 to 14, at the Martha Eliot Health Center (MEHC). We teach our participants important life skills in addition to helping them improve their basketball game.
We use the game of basketball because of its popularity among local youth and because it offers team-building opportunities.
Skills taught in our program include:
- mutual encouragement and respect
- violence prevention
- anger management
- conflict mediation and resolution
We also encourage discussions in our program where we talk about the value of education, what it's like to be in middle and high school and the importance of building self-esteem.
