YOUTH LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
in 2021, we launched our first Youth Leadership Council
consisting of 8 KING Hoops players. The pandemic took away
normalcy, the ability to play, and social interaction from our
players. While recovering from the impact of COVID, we wanted
to hear directly from our kids and allow their voice to be part of
the build back. Our group meets monthly during basketball
season to not only gain leadership skills and hear from guest
speakers, but to also be given a space to voice their opinions.
Meeting topics range from feedback on new uniform design and
what they would like to see more at practice to discussing
gentrification and racial tensions. No matter the topic, our staff
and coaches are there to facilitate and most importantly listen.
We look forward to increasing full circle feedback loops in 2022.
