OUTREACH TO SUPPORT HEALTHY AND VIBRANT COMMUNITIESLiFEsports CLINICSLiFEsports clinics are offered during the academic year for youth whopreviously participated in the LiFEsports Summer Camp. These clinics allowLiFEsports to maintain caring, positive relationships with our youth andprovide additional opportunities to educate our youth on our targeted socialskills. We call these “booster sessions” as they serve as follow-up “shots”or opportunities to reinforce S.E.T.S. learning and application. To implementthe clinics, we often rely on the help of our OSU Varsity and Club athleticteams, as well as other youth sport organizations throughout Central Ohio.In 2021-22, our clinic partners included the Ohio State Men’s and Women’sGymnastics teams, the Ohio State Men’s Soccer team, the Ohio State Men’sand Women’s Club Basketball teams, Danja Yoga, Columbus Futsal, BlackCultural Performing Arts, and Ohio State Franklin County Extension.PROGRAM STATISTICS10TOTALCLINICSTRACK&FIELDGYMNASTICSYOGAFUTSALDODGEBALLSOCCERBASKETBALL DANCE HEALTHY FOOTBALLEATING10ParticipationYouth attending at least...1 clinic – 74 2 clinics – 31 3 clinics – 13 4 or more – 8 5 or more – 2
DANCING WITH CRPDA RETURN TO CAMPUSIn February 2022, we broke the winter duldrums by gettingour bodies moving through dance at the LindenCommunity Center. With the help of Jordell Matthews fromthe Black Cultured Performing Arts, youth learned somenew moves and performed a final dance routine. Afterall the youth learned the dance routine, they were organizedinto “crews” or teams where they were able to addtheir own 8-count dance moves to the end of the routine.The youth had so much fun making the group dance alittle different than all the other groups. Each “crew” thenperformed their personalized dance for all the parents/caregivers and volunteers, and showcased their SETS.Participants practiced self-control by maintaining focus andcontrolling their emotions during tougher 8-counts, effortas the youth tried new dance moves, and teamwork whenthey took the time to encourage one another and worktogether throughout the clinic and in their “crews.”LiFEsports loves engaging our community sportpractictioners in our clinics.Our gymnastics clinic is a youth favorite, and we werehappy to bring it back after a few years of taking a breakdue to COVID-19 protocols. OSU’s Head Men’s GymnasticsCoach Rustam Sharipov, assistant coaches, and the men’sand women’s gymnastics team all showed up ready toengage with the youth and teach various gymnastics skillson the floor, pommel horse, trampoline, rings, valut, paralleland high bars, beams, and foam pits. The clinic was hostedat the Steelwood Training Facility, the exact place our OSUgymnasts train daily! Our gymnastic student-athletes madesure to share with our youth just how they use S.E.T.S.every day in their gymnastics and college life. We arealways thankful for our varsity teams who want to engagein LiFEsports activities.LiFEsports Annual Report11
