It's been a busy summer for the King County Play Equity Coalition and, by extension, the city's professional sports teams whether in season or not. Last week, the Kraken joined the Mariners, Storm, Sounders, Reign, Seahawks, Seawolves and Cascades in providing a free week-long "sports sampling" camp for 50 girls and boys in collaboration with the Play Equity Coalition.
The camp, staged at the Van Asselt Community Center in south Seattle, featured half-day segments for pro sports team personnel to introduce their sport in activity sessions for the 50 youngsters on hand. The participants learned basic rules and skills, then tested out their newfound knowledge in games, fun drills and more.
