The Maedan 4-dong Residents' Autonomous Committee in Youngtong-gu, Suwon announced that it will launch a free basketball class for middle school students in grades 1-3 starting July 2, held every Saturday from 10 a.m. for two hours.
The basketball class will primarily target low-income families, with 12 participants to be recruited. Classes will be conducted in groups of three students with a total of 5 instructors.
The instructors are high school students dreaming of becoming athletes with sports specialties, including Ye Seong-bin and four others, who have received coaching from the Kyung Hee University basketball team for many years. At the request of the instructors' parents, the Maedan 4-dong Residents' Autonomous Committee discussed and decided to operate the class under the sequential supervision of the parents, taking into consideration the promotion of healthy cultural practices among youth and the spirit of voluntary community service in the local area.
Sim Sang-ho, head of Maedan 4-dong, said, "Since this class was created at the request of residents, I hope it runs without any incidents and becomes a community that residents of Maedan 4-dong build together."
