Jerusalem, Israel Tuesday, December 7th, 2010, Bring It In - Israel Winter Fellows had the unique opportunity to meet with Danny Ourian from the New York Knicks Communty Relations department. Having spent time working with Bring It In - Israel Head Coach David Lasday at PeacePlayers International and Safe Haven West Side Basketball, Ourian sits on the Bring It In - Israel advisory board. Ourian, a cutting edge youth based sports development coach, spoke with the Fellows about how to organize an educational sports day with schools, camps, and community centers, from the initial contacting of the school administrators to the followup and evaluation after the event. This profesional development session proved to be invaluable to the Fellows, providing them with the tools to organize their own sports days. Fellows have expressed the desire to begin organizing sports days in Israel. Each fellow has commited to running 3 Israel sports days when they return to North America.
