CEPIA volunteer

Every Wednesday night, at an organization called Beyond Sports (Beyond Sports is a foundation that uses the power of sports to transform lives by turning athletic ability into life opportunity), with them I volunteer to teach CEPIA kids how to play basketball. CEPIA is a Costa Rican nationally accredited non-profit organization that seeks to promote culture, health, sports and education for children and teenagers and their families from poor backgrounds in the communities of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. I usually assist Beyond Sports by translating, due to the fact that most of the people at Beyond Sports don’t speak any Spanish and the CEPIA kids don’t speak any english. I also teach the kids basic basketball fundamentals. This past Wednesday we taught the kids a dribbling warmup and then how to shoot a basketball with good form.
