Today members of our team visited Willyard Elementary School in Ravenna as part of our community outreach program.

Our student-athletes helped out in two physical education classes with 5th and 3rd graders.  They got the students warmed up and stretched out before participating in soccer drills.

Then, the classes went outside and our student-athletes were introduced to a new game: Gaga bin.

Gaga bin is played in a octagonal-shaped wooden box.  Players hit a playground ball around with their hands in attempt to hit another player.  If a player is hit with the ball below the knees, they are out.  If a player hits another with the ball above the knees, the player that hit the ball is out. Once a player is out and leaves the bin, someone from outside the bin is able to enter the game.

It was a fun experience and the games definitely got competitive with the students!
