During sports programming, athletes and volunteers come together for loosely structured sports activities. Our sports program is one of the favorites by many of our youth. Athletes develop friendships as they participate in physical activities and have free play opportunities that meet sensory and recreational needs! Activities within sports sessions typically include, but are not limited to: basketball, scooters, t-ball, soccer, relay races, ball play, and more. We work to provide 1:1 support within our sports sessions when safety allows, sometimes this is not possible due to safety limitations related to COVID-19.
Each 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.” We then play parachute games and sing the hokey pokey. Athletes burn energy, meet and interact with new volunteers, see old friends, and then rejoin their parents.
Corina joined the KEEN NY family in 2013 as a BK basketball volunteer. The Coaches Committee quickly adopted her as one of their own and thus began her passionate love affair with the community. In 2017, Corina led the inaugural yoga program and also joined the KEEN NY Associate Board. Through the Associate Board, she planned several fundraisers, including the widely popular KEEN on Comedy show. As an active member of the Coaches Committee, she regularly leads the BK yoga program and also helps facilitate other programs.
Outside of KEEN, she spends her free time working in the exhilarating world of structured finance. She is often seen in the company of a finicky Shih-Tzu and a very muscular boyfriend who didn't help write this.
