Hello Fellow Youth Coordinators!

My name is Antonio Caceres from the Embarcadero YMCA housed here at Bessie Carmichael Elementary School. Our summer program is six weeks long and ages range from elementary, middle, and high students. For the last two Summers I have been running a daily summer basketball camp that has resulted in the young people developing a love for the game and also a love for being active and healthy. This summer we are expanding the basketball camp to encompass flag foot ball, baseball and soccer. I need help to schedule games for my teams. If you are running any sports camps and you would like to schedule any scrimmages for this up coming summer please contact me as soon as you can. Please Email me what sport you would like schedule games and when you would be available. Our program starts June 13 and will end mid July.

Teams I need games for:

-3rd 4^th 5^th basketball (boys, girls)

-Middle school basketball (boys, girls)

-High school basketball (boys)

-Middle school soccer (boys)

-Middle school Flag football (boys)

Please E-mail me the following.

-Age of group

-Sport

-Location suggestion

P.S. What a great way to enjoy the summer and teach about life then through sports I greatly encourage you to start a sports camp in your summer program.

It seems really good about the camps. Organize youth soccer camps with in the budget and invite as many teams to join as you can easily.

A summer without enrichment is a summer with learning loss

“Deprived of healthy stimulation, millions of low-income kids lose a significant amount of what they learn during the school year. Call it 'summer learning loss,' as the academics do, or 'the summer slide,' but by any name summer is among the most pernicious — if least acknowledged — causes of achievement gaps in America's schools. Children with access to high-quality experiences can exercise their minds and bodies at sleep-away camp, on family vacations, in museums and libraries and enrichment classes. Meanwhile, children without resources languish on street corners or in front of glowing screens. By the time the bell rings on a new school year, the poorer kids have fallen weeks, if not months, behind. …

"And what starts as a hiccup in a 6-year-old's education can be a crisis by the time that child reaches high school. A major study by researchers at Johns Hopkins University concluded that while students made similar progress during the school year, regardless of economic status, the better-off kids held steady or continued to advance during the summer — while disadvantaged students fell back. By the end of grammar school, low-income students had fallen nearly three grade levels behind. By ninth grade, roughly two-thirds of the learning gap separating income groups could be blamed on summer learning loss.”
