    In a typical KEEN LA program session our athletes and their coaches spend fifty minutes playing basketball, soccer, dodge ball or lawn bowling. They may try some gymnastics, or use jump ropes, scooters, hula hoops, swings and monkey bars. The session often rounds off with families joining the athletes and coaches in parachute-play and Tug-of-War. The finale is always the "Proud Circle," in which each athlete in turn enters the circle and tells everyone - What did you do today that made you Proud!
