#TBT to yesterday's Sport & Wellness Camp makeup! Although it wasn't a must-do, we wanted to re-do dates that had to be canceled due to last month's heat emergency so Lawrence kids & fam could reap all the important full-camp benefits! Although today's re-do had to be canceled b/c more heat, we think yesterday was worth the effort.

-Water balloons and water games ✔️
-The signature water jug dump on a hot day 🌞✔️
-Raffle prizes for a handful of lucky campers ✔️
-Soccer & volleyball skill work, of course! ✔️
-Fun pre-game cheers and songs ✔️
-Teammates back together ✔️
-Icee Truck to beat the heat & "Summer Meals"✔️

It’s a #TerrificTuesday when so many kids come out for #SummerNights activities, like the head, head, knees, shoulders, knees, knees, shoulders...ball challenge game 😀🎥!

Plus, our staff is busy, gearing up for tomorrow’s first makeup day of the July Sport & Wellness Academy, which, you may recall, was shut down 2 days due to the City’s heat emergency. The challenging part is that Thursday looks like a scorcher, but hey, we know we will sponsor an important makeup day tomorrow and one with the crowd-favorite Icee Truck! 🍧 Our youth jobs crew and #FT staff work so hard to make sure there’s no missed play or connection! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #youthjobs #summernights #summerdays #summerplay #beyondexpectations #beyondsoccer #beyondvolley 🏐⚽️🧡💙

Another #FullFriday with an 8:30 a.m. CPR training

Another #FullFriday with an 8:30 a.m. CPR training with the wonderful Ellie of Ellie's CPR and First Aid Training. This time it’s for our second group of youth and staff members (yes, we have a big summer jobs cohort thanks to so many of you!!) so that almost 100% of our staff are CPR & AED certified, a job and life--saving--skill that can be used far beyond our program reach. Investing in our staff means investing in the community! There’s definitely some positive, strong sense of accomplishment #Fridayvibes heading into another busy summer week! Thanks to all involved!

A combo #ThankfulThursday & #TBT post to all the young people who stay with us for 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11+ years, like Katherine pictured on the courts instructing the youth last night. Katherine was part of our Her’rricanes squad circa 2014/2015, together w/ Melissa, a current Sr. #CoachMentor 📷'd next to her, who now make invaluable #playitforward contributions to the program as leaders, alumni, and mentors to our younger generation. Of our youth/young adult job cohort, 90% are either current or former players, like Melissa or Katerine, with a few from surrounding communities who’ve been introduced to the program and want to stay involved.

Ps, Melissa took these pics from last night! 😄

#WeGotThisWednesday - Now that the humidity has dropped--a bit, the courts are filling up again, on both sides of the City, plus in our #Beyond space too! Right now, our weekly #SummerNights activities mean 28-32 hours of evening futsal, volleyball, teambuilding, fitness, special movie nights, healthy food prep, and other pop-up events! Like these players getting ready to "serve," stay tuned, as we #serveup more activities that promote physical and mental wellness this summer thanks to our incredible partners and #CoachMentors! #wellnesswednesday #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #multisports #multilocations #youthdevelopment #summerenrichment #beyondsoccer #beyondvolley 🏐⚽️🧡💙

Keep #MovingMonday! Here's live 🎥 from the #DCR sponsored #SummerNights #BeyondVolley clinics at the Lawrence #YWCA! Is there anything better than youth staying busy, playing sports, and being surrounded by positive role models in the summer evening hours? Here's a smattering of videos of technical drills, skill work, and fitness led by older leaders and former players, who continue to lead, cheer and motivate by example! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #DCR #SummerNights #happykids #freeplay #partnershipsmatter #playmatters #beyondsoccer #beyondvolley 🏐⚽️🧡💙

#FunFridayFlashback from Day 6 of Sport & Wellness

#FunFridayFlashback from Day 6 of Sport & Wellness Academy. Unfortunately, the hotter than usual temps forced us to cancel days 7 & 8, which meant 165 kids were sidelined, but we promise, not for long!! We’re working with the Lawrence Rec Dept. to make up those 2 days for the week of August 1st or 8th! Stay tuned but in the meantime, enjoy these smiles, sports games, and wellness activities that have become signature to this summertime experience, run almost entirely by youth who've grown up w/us!

#ThrowbackThursday to last night's #SummerNights activities, thanks to the awesome funding from our DCR friends! Although we had to cancel two days of Sport & Wellness b/c of extreme heat (to be rescheduled-stay tuned!), we shifted some planned outdoor evening activities—indoors--for essential wellness, including the challenging wall sits, plus some yoga, stretching, ladders and stairs! We’re grateful to our #CoachMentors for being so flexible, so kids can still connect and move despite the elements!

#TeamEffortTuesday - Yes, we’ve posted many great 📸's of the Sport & Wellness participants, but these pics from this morning's prep, plus a reminder of the weeks of planning, the months of fundraising (#TY partners) combined with the intensive daily post-camp breakdown, are what makes this effort tick. Sports Directors Leti Valdez & Chris' leadership too!

A 5:30 am “Rise & Shine” 🌞 morning WhatsApp goes out to our cohort of 30+ youth hires and staff and then they’re off, including a labor-intensive 6:15 am office process that fills up and loads up 10 full-size water jugs! Yes, a must on these hot summer days. There are so many involved to ensure hundreds of Lawrence youth get 100% of the focus come the 8:30 am start time!! #teamwork #youthsports #summerjobs #itstakesavillage #happykids #healthykids #busykids #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #earlybirdgetsstheworm ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#MakingMemoriesMonday at another busy day of Sport & Wellness. @lawrencefreelibrary visited and read to the youngsters. #TY for your continued involvement! Many soccer players also benefited from volleyball instruction for the 1st time and loved it! #MultiSportAthletes!

Plus, more teambuilding and puzzle solving at the teambuilding & wellness station. It wasn’t easy to make a square out of the 5 pieces provided or guide a marble through a moving #pipeline game, but most teams figured it out so long as they didn’t give up and stayed positive. (A little #CoachMentor assistance, too 😊). These games are also good #beattheheat strategies, providing important breaks from gameplay. Thanks to all! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #summerenrichment #partnershipsmatter #problemsolvers #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley #BeyondFam 🏐⚽️🧡💙

#SummerSaturdayShare - We’re grateful recipients

#SummerSaturdayShare - We’re grateful recipients of a DCR #SummerNights grant, which means we run free evening programs every weeknight around Lawrence. It’s another youth jobs generator too! Yes, this week mainly highlighted our daytime Sport & Wellness Camp for 150 kids and counting, but what we missed sharing were a handful of evening pop-up movie🎥 and healthy snack nights at the #BeyondFit space, plus pickup futsal and volleyball run by our awesome #CoachMentors! It’s a great #beattheheat alternative, plus an #offthefield&court pathway for connection and mentorship! Much more Summer Nights fun over the coming weeks!

It’s a #ThankfulThursday as we wrap up Week 1 of Sport & Wellness. We’re grateful to the partners & funders growing this #teameffort. Further, we’re #thankful to the hundreds of players & fams who show up daily, trusting us, and the #CoachMentors who lead, mentor, and care so much about those kids so they too benefit from a meaningful experience as they did as elementary or middle schoolers many years ago.😀 As you can see, Facepaint has become one of those meaningful Thursday coach-mentor traditions! #LeadershipThroughSports Lots more to do and adjustments to make!

#We💙IceesWednesday especially when @konaice4u cold treats are coupled with lots of play, sun, fun, physical & mental wellness! Here's another lineup of action 📷 from today's festivities and activities. A highlight was the well-planned wellness games that had participants working--again--in teams to solve puzzles and balance water buckets. The best part is that any splashing keeps players cool! Watching all these games being planned and run by youth who've grown up in our program is #Icees on the cake!🍧😁

Another #TerrificTuesday full of lots of play and physical activity. The day started with an official safety share from the Lawrence Fire Department with lots of Q & A.🧑‍🚒Can’t you tell? The volleyball and soccer instruction was also on point-- the result of weeks of curriculum development. A sponge-bucket water relay challenge enhanced the lineup of activities at our daily wellness station as we work to beat that heat and keep the kids cool.☀️💦 Plus, some necessary break time mixed in where the #CoachMentors can connect further with the youth participants. We’ll be back at it tomorrow, bright and early.

#MakingSportsMemoriesMonday! It’s official – the 11th (omg) Annual Sport & Wellness Academy is underway, and our team didn’t skip a beat, even with a 6am start. Day 1 was filled with lots of volleyball, soccer, wellness, fitness activities, and fun teambuilders, like this head hoop game! We were also especially grateful to the #LawrencePolice and #LawrenceFire Departments for spending time with us, interacting with our team, youth cohorts, and young participants. Again, it's another #teameffort with so many people to thank.

What a #SuperSaturday 📷 to see in What's App

What a #SuperSaturday 📷 to see in What's App of many summer team members eating a healthy breakfast –for lunch--cooked and prepped by Soccer Director Chris to show his appreciation for everyone's effort on courts, fields, and in the office this week! 🍳🥑Hey, many studies show that those who eat together have healthier relationships! We're feeling it and loving all the work these healthy connections are leading to, like this fun promotional 🎥 for next week's camp! Check it out - we're feeling good all-around with our #beyondfam, our learnings, and our impact.

#FlashbackFriday pictures of this week’s futsal and volleyball activities happening all over the City! These action 📷s motivate us, along with our sports friends and partners, as we head into the weekend and probably our most “active” week of the year—with next week’s Annual Sport & Wellness Academy start @ #LHS Veterans Stadium! So many #CoachMentors and Jr Coaches running these sessions are busy planning and prepping during the day and then finding that much-needed energy and enthusiasm to ensure young people have the most opportunities to play!

#WeGotThisWednesday with this cohort of youth and young adult leaders. 💪

Today’s morning check-in led by Leti and Chris, w/our #LeadershipThroughSports crew, discussed their many To-Do’s related to Monday’s Sport & Wellness Camp start, the expanding evening futsal & volleyball clinics, the Summer Nights kickoff, and the many post-Volleybond event responsibilities, like #TY notes, press releases, plus all the essential administrative work in between. This group is attacking their on-and-off-the-field-and-court tasks with great enthusiasm, and motivating us full-timers. We’re confident that they will help us support our busiest and best summer yet. This group is learning and leading every day. #feelingproud #feelingmotivated #youthjobs #healthykids #happykids #healthycommunities ⚽️🏐🧡💙

#SaturdayShare –“We had an amazing time tonight. Thanks, Coach Chris for putting together this event.🙌” - parent

It was great to see all the pics flooding the What’s App group from yesterday’s “roaring” good time for the Grade 1 & 2 boys Lion’s crew, including a healthy dinner, fitness, and movie organized by Soccer Director, Chris. Sports’ ability to bring people together around healthy activity is unmatched. Now that we have a facility to offer more of that type of off-the-field-and-court support, connection, and fun, there’s nothing stopping us. Well, fundraising of course.😄We must do a lot more of it, but these 📷 and family feedback are all the motivation we need! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #happyfamilies #SBYD #beyondfamliy #beyondsoccer #beyondvolley ⚽️🏐💙🧡

#FitnessFriday – With only 30 mins before last night’s program, we learned that the court was getting some repairs. So what did our #CoachMentors do? They improvised! Instead of canceling, they moved the event to our indoor #BeyondFit space Riverwalk Innovation to ensure Lawrence youth still benefited from important exercise, team-building, and, of course, positive mentorship. Thanks, team! Coach Will Inirio also said there were no complaints--either--that futsal turned into a mostly fitness-based activity. The players loved challenging themselves in new ways. Your efforts don’t go unnoticed, #CoachMentors by those around you and our kids and families. Keep problem-solving! #youthsports #healthykids #happykids #CoachMentorsMatter #play #move #learn #connect #LawrenceMA #BeyondSoccer #BeyondVolley ⚽️🏐🧡💙
