FULLERTON, Calif.—On the basketball courts of Lemon Park, over three dozen children were bouncing basketballs together, awaiting the arrival of three Harlem Globetrotter stars who were invited to help improve their skills in an hourlong training.

“This is important for students because they learn and hear these important life lessons from someone other than their families and teachers,” Anna Romiti, VP of Marketing and Communications for the YMCA of Orange County, told The Epoch Times. “They see the benefits of how hard work pays off. It gives them hope and reinforces their dreams and passions.”
