Out
of Bounds is a
ground breaking community based initiative. The program
targets youth in grades 6 – 12 and interested parents
and guardians that live in the Russell community and
surrounding area. The program is in response to years
of research that suggest that at risk youth and their
families have multiple needs and interrelated problem
behaviors that are not likely to be addressed by single
response, stand alone initiatives. Out of Bounds
consists of (8) program components:
The
Plymouth Bulldogs basketball program is one of
the components of our ground breaking community
based initiative Out of Bounds.
This component is designed to draw in
at-risk youth from the Russell community and
surrounding area. The basketball program is
intended to provide a safe environment for youth
to interact and deal with “unproductive” time in
which they can get in trouble. The youth in the
program are not only given the opportunity to
learn teamwork and the fundamentals of
basketball, but are also provided the tools to
overcome obstacles and realize their full
potential.
The
Plymouth Bulldogs basketball team is in the
Senior Southern Star Development Corporation
Youth Athletic League. The Senior League
consists of (13) teams. The Bulldogs practice
on Tuesdays at the Southern Star Community
Outreach Center gym at 2308 Algonquin Parkway.
The games are held at the same location.
