Join us for an engaging 9-week program designed to promote creativity, physical activity, confidence, and social connection in neurodivergent youth! Our Tuesday Basketball & Arts & Crafts Program provides a structured, welcoming environment where participants can explore both athletic and artistic skills with support from trained staff and a CSUDH intern pursuing a degree in Community Health.

Schedule:

5:00-6:00: Basketball

 This session provides fundamental basketball instruction through inclusive drills, skill-building activities, and modified games suitable for all experience levels. Participants will develop coordination, teamwork, communication, and confidence while staying active in a supportive environment. All activities are adapted to meet diverse learning styles, comfort levels, and motor abilities.

6:00–7:00 PM: Fine Motor Lab

Facilitated by a CSUDH Community Health intern, this hour transitions participants from the court into a structured, basketball-themed creative lab designed to strengthen fine motor skills, focus, and self-expression. Each week includes hands-on projects such as team banner design, mini basketball builds, jersey art, and skill-based crafting activities that reinforce coordination and creativity. In a calm and supportive setting, participants will build confidence through guided tasks and sensory-friendly exploration, with a final-day showcase celebrating their work.
