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.

Read Sachdhian’s Story 

Sachdhian is a key member of the 'No Question' basketball team.
Sachdhian Dhillon just played his first league CBL game for NO QUESTION. He was in the starting 5, got MVP and 13 points. It was an incredible game for him and we have the NSC programme and his incredible coaches from the last 2 years to thank for all their hard work, dedication and support in his development and skills both on and off the court. It goes to show that these unique basketball development programmes produce great players and stamina. Blessed and grateful.

On The Ground – Sharing Your Stories: December’s NSC Spotlight is The Avenues Youth Project

On The Ground - Sharing Your Stories: December's NSC Spotlight

 
This month we’re featuring  the story of Leo and his Judo progress with The Avenues Youth Project

The Avenues Youth Project is an open-access youth provision based in Queen’s Park ward in Westminster, one of the UK’s 10-20% most deprived neighbourhoods. It is an area of high youth crime, where serious incidents are frequent. Their team of qualified youth professionals welcome young people aged 8-18 to engage in activities, create positive relationships, ignite a passion, and have fun. 

Their youth work is primarily delivered on-site in their purpose-built youth centre, but they also take our young people out into their community and beyond. With the support of Everyone Active and ActiveWestminster’s NSC Programme they run free weekly Saturday Judo sessions for young people in our community aged 8-15 years.

Read Leo’s story 

Leo is a regular member of The Avenues and participates in our Saturday Judo sessions.
Over the past year, Leo has developed from a beginner to a competitor, showing not only improvement in his techniques but also in his personal development. The physical and mental demands of Judo, the structured nature of the sessions, along with personalised attention from our Judo coach have been a huge benefit to Leo. Judo's discipline is helping Leo to direct his energy in a positive way. As a result of his hard work Leo was selected to participate in a Judo competition. Despite nerves and a highly stimulating environment, Leo maintained focus and performed exceptionally well; winning a medal for his efforts. This achievement reflected not only Leo’s Judo skills but also his increased confidence, resilience, and ability to face challenges head on. Leo’s journey with a dedicated Judo coach, who has also become a mentor, highlights the importance of focused, personalised mentorship in sports.
