AFH U: Louisiana Update

Posted: Updated: by Kenya Warren-Hollins

AFH University kicked off the month of March by conducting 1.5 workshops with teams from Louisiana State University (LSU) and Southern University (SU).  Student athletes revisited the core values shared in the 1.0 workshop, participated in physical activity training led by the World Fit for Kids team, chose team leaders, and began the connection process. All teams have chosen their connection and are looking forward to participating this semester.

Teams and Connection Partners for this year:

LSU Baseball visited Key Academy, a school for children with dyslexia, in February. Three players, along with the legendary Skip Bertman, engaged the children in the importance of physical education and the basic techniques of baseball.  Thanks to the players and to Skip for meeting with the kids.

Congrats Nat Borchers and the Portland Timbers 2015 MLS Champs

You might know Nat Borchers from his signature red beard or his work on the soccer field, but did you know that this soccer star is a proud Athletes for Hope member athlete? Nat volunteered his time through Let’s Move Active Schools several times this year – even leading the kids from the St. Clare School in an epic rendition of “the whip” and “the nae nae” for the #5forPE Video Challenge. We are so proud of Nat and the Portland Timbers for their excellent work on the field this season. Congratulations from your friends at Athletes for Hope!
