It’s been a couple weeks and I've been in contact with the Terry at the YMCA in New Haven on Crown Street. There are still a few things to work out with them before I can fully submerge myself into the day to day activity at the Y. There is definitely great potential for me to be insert myself and openness towards me, but it will be a challenge to organize the kids the way I want to in order to maximize my affect and presence with them daily (hopefully).
I've had a tour of the place met a few people and visualized what I’d like to do and how. There is a pool for recreation and a basketball gym (which is frequently used by kids) a homework center and a game room. My vision is to see the kids and me working to improve in basketball with individual/team sessions and possibly play AAU teams or something of that nature in the summers. But for now I have to just get fully integrated into the day to day program and gain a little more trust with the kids.
So there you have it; there is more to be said but as of now we'll leave it there and stay tuned for the next post from your boy.
Go Dartmouth BIG GREEN!!!
