Hoops Creating Hope (Delhi)
H
ps Creating Hpe
Assist organised Crossover’s Hoops Creating Hope programme in Delhi, for the first time ever, from 25 March–29 March 2019. The programme was a massive success with over 140 less privileged children taking part in the drills. Started in Chennai, in 2012, Hoops Creating Hope is a program targeted at the less-privileged students. The program seeks to develop skills in leadership, understanding of gender equality, build participant character, teamwork skills, communication skills, and instill in students the confidence to pursue future goals. Basketball, in Crossover’s signature HCH program, is viewed as a vehicle of change — as quoted by Crossover, “students are able to learn on the court and in the classroom through play and guided experiential learning rather than more hours in a traditional classroom”.
At HCH, students learn about Crossover’s five prime principles through sessions linking academics, individual skills, team building, physical conditioning, and yoga. This event attracts a range of stakeholders, from thought leaders, student voices, coaches, and educators from the US and India, who all respect the importance of sport in a student’s overall education.

Event Schedule
Tamana: School Of Hope
Assist organised a basketball session for the specially-abled children of Tamana: School Of Hope under the aegis of Founder & Chief Mentor Kartikeya Goel and veteran coach Varun Ahlawat.
The children involved started with small steps and, gradually, improved to include a sense of elegance and confidence in their game.
The positive effect that playing basketball had on the special children shows great promise for the prospective success of Assist’s Tamana Chapter.
Tagore International School, East Of Kailash
Tagore International School, East Of Kailash was the site of Assist’s second basketball workshop organised for less privileged children. The entire session was full of zeal and pleasant hullabaloo as the TIS kids gave every ounce of their effort to match the didactic competition offered by our coach, Varun Ahlawat, in his physically intense drills.
