OUTREACH TO SUPPORT HEALTHY AND VIBRANT COMMUNITIESNEW PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT: LiFEsports AT DUBLINIn 2022, LiFEsports was approached by both school and communityleaders in Dublin to address a growing concern. Youth attending theelementary schools feeding into Scioto High School (10%) were less likelythan their peers at Jerome and Coffman (16%) to participate in high schoolathletics. They also were less likely to participate in YOUTH athleticsthrough the Dublin Youth Association (16% at Scioto, 40% at Jerome and44% at Coffman). This trend continued when looking at data on social skills,as well. Specifically, 43% of students in the Scioto feeder pattern reportedconfidence in regulating their emotions while only 50% did at Coffmanand 60% at Jerome. To address these gaps and needs, LiFEsports waspiloted in 2022 in an attempt to 1) increase social skills among youth and 2)increase sport access for youth.This pilot camp also was the first time LiFEsports could conduct arandomized time-series study to research our sport-based campintervention more rigorously. What this meant is instead of running onecamp, we operated two 4-week camps in Dublin each serving 50-60 kidseach. Each program provided the youth with free breakfast and lunch,transportation, 3 hours of sport instruction, and 1 hour of play-basedChalk Talk S.E.T.S. curriculum. Youth and families were given surveys atmultiple points throughout the summer to evaluate the effectiveness of theintervention. This allowed our research team to compare camp participantsacross the two camps to see if youth participating in the camp in Junedifferend in S.E.T.S. scores as compared to those who came in July. Checkout our preliminary results!SOCIAL SKILL IMPACT:• 3/4 of youth reported they can better control theirfeelings• Parents/Caregivers reported their child’s ability todescribe how they demonstrate self-control increasedfrom 76% to 95% over the course of the camp.• Youth seeing a behavioral health provider (11%)moved from 44th to 59th percentile on the Social SkillsImprovement System (SSIS).SPORT IMPACT:• Youth with the lowest scores on fundamental motorskills such as kicking and hitting moved from 34th to42nd percentile.• 82% of parents reported their child would be morelikely to play a school sportNote: Campers attending at least 1 day of camp (N=63) who responded.Percentages based on those selecting one of the top 3 levels of agreement.LiFEsports+ Dublin: Caregiver Perceptions SocialSkills Improvement System (SSIS)Caregiver Perceptions of Social Skills (N = 96)Attended LiFEsports in June (n = 49)80%70%114SAID THEY LEARNED TOGET ALONG WITH OTHERSSocial Skills Improvement System(Percentile by Gender and Age)60%50%40%30%20%52%29%AttendedDid not attend10%Baseline of JuneEnd of June14
