We wanted to teach them new skills but also experience playing in games and competing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effects of COVID are far-reaching as many of the 15 boys that signed up had not participated in any sports in 2 years. In the beginning, socializing was awkward and they were not accustomed to playing in a gym.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the boys had never participated in any sports in his life. Due to a medical condition he wasn\u2019t able to engage in activities. However, his mom wanted him to be around other kids after the isolation of COVID had a negative effect on him. It was great to see him playing and laughing! His mom now hopes he will join some of the other after-school programs at the YFC Center.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 6 week Spring Jam program flew by and the boys all had tons of fun. Many are now signed up for our summer camps. What a blessing to be back on the court and connecting again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"y-cig--right\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-c-gallery extend\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"y-c-gallery--sticky\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-c-gallery--slick medium\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-c-gallery--slide\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2022\/05\/spring-jam-2.jpg);\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2022\/05\/spring-jam-2-297x300.jpg\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-c-gallery--slide\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2022\/08\/SpringJam-2.jpg);\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2022\/08\/SpringJam-2-300x221.jpg\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-c-gallery--slide\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2022\/08\/SpringJam-3.jpg);\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2022\/08\/SpringJam-3-300x253.jpg\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":707,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[19],"class_list":["post-896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-basketball"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/56"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/896\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/london\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
