From yoga to shooting hoops, some kids in Asheville are making the most of their afternoons. 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders from Jones Elementary School are working on their fundamentals. Once a week, Asheville High School basketball coach Lauren Powell helps them with their ball handling, passing, shooting and defense. The drills help them improve their skills but they also learn the importance of team work. Basketball is just one of 13 different activities that are offered after school. Ms. Jamie says yoga is a great way for the children to improve their flexibility, strength and coordination. The school also offers other classes like martial arts, photography and science. The six week enrichment program is run by PTO volunteers. _______________ Follow WLOS on social media: WLOS ABC 13 News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/News13/ WLOS ABC 13 News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WLOS_13 WLOS ABC 13 News on Instagram: https://instagram.com/wlos_13 Subscribe to WLOS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ABC13Channel/?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to AnchorMOMS, the Podcast: https://wlos.com/news/anchormoms/anchormoms-the-podcast Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk8Ge6UXHJs&list=PLkVbaoT-aYbIvnEpR0Ct5QQQqYaORUSUH For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.wlos.com Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://wlos.com/watch Have a news tip?
