Hoops & Heart Skills is a 3 week program that blends essential social emotional learning skills with basketball fundamentals. Each class gives students the chance to dribble, pass, and shoot while strengthening the mindset they need to shine both on and off the court. This program will be co-taught by Kristen Perrotti, owner of Be Well with SEL, LLC and Aliou Cisse, senior forward on Merrimack College's Division 1 men's basketball team. Through engaging activities, students will learn and practice good sportsmanship, cooperation, and respect for themselves, their teammates, and their coaches. They will be shown strategies for handling disappointment, accepting criticism, and maintaining a positive attitude -even when games (and life) feel tough! Students will practice following rules, playing fair, and using a positive mindset...turning mistakes into opportunities for growth. By the end of the program, participants will feel more confident, connected, and capable.
