    Sports Programs are held in three locations: Montgomery County, MD; Southeast DC; and Fairfax County (Springfield), VA. KEEN Sports VA for Kids and for Teens, which launched March 21, 2010, with 30 new athletes and a great mix of new and returning volunteers, brings our total to 18 active and growing programs with waiting lists of young people eager to get into those programs. Montgomery County programs feature opportunities for 3 different athlete age groups: kids, teens and young adults. During the Sports Program, athletes and volunteers come together for one-to-one activities. They have a group warm up and then move to individual activities that are tailored solely to the needs of the athlete. They may throw a basketball or kick a soccer ball, or they may take a walk around the outdoor track. Many love to bounce on 36” balls or be pulled along the floor on a flat wheeled scooter. A group may form for Duck, Duck, Goose. The session ends with everyone coming together in a circle (although some athletes still need to run around its periphery, and that’s okay) and sharing with the group what they did that day “that made them very Proud.” They literally go out dancing: the Hokey Pokey for the younger kids and the Macarena for the teens and young adults. Athletes burn energy, meet and interact with new volunteers, see old friends, and then rejoin their parents, who have had some precious respite time.
