The Purpose
LTD Outreach programs will assist in the implementation of the LTD
Mission..., “Motivating youth to participate in physical activity
while promoting the importance of teamwork and healthy living”. The
primary areas of focus will be: i) Community Involvement, ii) Program
Showcases, and iii) Mentoring Programs.
Community Involvement
Every region LTD Sports is involved with, will have an on-site
location for the community to take part in physical activities and
have fun. “Basketball Open Houses” will be developed where youth
can have access to a gym, where they can be introduced to a number of
activities that will also help develop their athletic and social
skills, the “FUN-damentals”. While some “Open Houses” will be
dedicated to individual drop-ins there will also be opportunities for
youth groups/organizations to do other organized events and
activities.
Many of these groups may not have
access to a gymnasium or equipment to host events with this type of
setting. Group bookings for community organizations, church groups,
basketball teams, social clubs, and birthday parties are just a few
examples of the type of assemblies that can be organized.
Program Showcases
Any organization/group/school can arrange to have an on-site
presentation of what LTD Sports has to offer. These “Showcases”
will give youth a chance to see first-hand, what programs are
available and how they can be involved. Everyone involved gets a
chance to be entertained, physically participate and be educated.
A Showcase may last approximately 45-60
minutes and will include a show involving our Elite Dribbling Squad,
an opportunity for youth to take part in activities and challenges,
and information on the importance of physical activity, teamwork and a
healthy lifestyle. The Showcases can be booked by any
organization/group/school wishing to add a special event, or assembly,
to their program.
Mentoring Programs
No matter what level a person is at, it is always important to have a
mentor to help with development and guidance. Within the LTD Sports
Programs there are numerous opportunities to develop a mentoring
relationship, whether it is through our coaches/volunteers/teachers or
through a peer mentoring process that has more older/developed youth
assisting their younger, and/or possibly less skilled peers. At every
level, within every program, there will be an individual actively
involved in the development of others skills.
