On The Ground – Sharing Your Stories: February NSC Spotlight is on Jahmarion Francis

February NSC Spotlight - On The Ground is Jahmarion Francis' Story

 
This month we’re featuring  the story of Jahmarion Francis and his basketball progression with his team Westside.

Hurdles2Hoops is a non-profit organisation  working with asylum seekers and refugees offering free physical activity and education sessions in Westminster and other London boroughs

Read Jahmarion’s Story

The NSC programme helped me develop by giving me more available training sessions than I would at my school or other facilities in my area. It prepared me for the national league by pushing me to my limits and more just like how any national league team would. It also provided professional and safe coaches to train me which made me want to push myself aswell.
