grove city YMCA

Today my friend and I drove up to the YMCA in Grove City to do our service learning for fitness ed class. We got there around 2:15 and I wasnt sure what to expect. I wasnt sure what we were going to be doin i just knew it was helping kids out at the Y. About 50 kids showed up and it was an after school program for kids to be active until their parents picked them up around 5. We played flag football and basketball with them. We helped the counselor control them and get them rounded up because some kids from Grove City high school were going to talk to them about bullying. It ended up being a great experience because i had a lot of fun playing basketball with some 5th and 6th graders. I enjoyed practicing working with kids like a phys ed teacher would. I used to not want to teach in the elementary school but after this i want to. I saw how pumped they were to play football and basketball and you dont get that in secondary schools.
