Teens were split into two groups for some friendly competition. The game? See which line can hit the most balls "in" on the other side.
Next stop was elimination fences. It's kind of like playing doubles, except there is a line of people waiting for you to mess up so they can take your place. Hit the ball out or into the net? Go to the back of the line. Miss the ball completely? Elimination. Of course there was some (friendly) trash talk as to who would get out first. The one who beat us all? A 6-year-old who stood no more than 4 feet tall.
The Bethlehem Center incorporates healthy living and exercise into all of our programs. With childhood obesity on the rise, we want to make sure our kids are out and about playing sports (or at least, in the auditorium dancing) as much as possible. Of course, the staff favorite event is the staff vs. kids basketball tournament, where at least for the last 3 years the kids have beaten the staff by at least 20 points. Maybe this year...
If you have a special sporting skill that you'd like to share with the kids or teens, let us know! We'd love to have you!
