00:07.117 --> 00:10.042
- [Kaleb Voiceover] Domestic violence is a serious issue.

00:10.042 --> 00:11.313
To raise awareness

00:11.313 --> 00:15.086
Vandenbergs defenders took teens to the court.

00:15.086 --> 00:17.947
- Today we have a teen vs. defenders

00:17.947 --> 00:20.969
which is the cops on base basketball event.

00:20.969 --> 00:22.768
We're gonna be playing basketball with the teens.

00:22.768 --> 00:23.998
Interacting with them.

00:23.998 --> 00:26.680
Getting engaged in some community involvement

00:26.680 --> 00:28.998
with potential future defenders of tomorrow

00:28.998 --> 00:30.531
as well as discussing with them

00:30.531 --> 00:32.127
some of the serious instances

00:32.127 --> 00:35.210
that have to do with domestic assault

00:35.619 --> 00:36.452
domestic violence

00:36.452 --> 00:37.450
whether within their home

00:37.450 --> 00:39.170
or whether with somebody they know.

00:39.170 --> 00:40.106
^The most important thing for us

00:40.106 --> 00:41.507
^is just to go out, play basketball

00:41.507 --> 00:42.590
^have some fun

00:42.631 --> 00:43.796
^and let them know after

00:43.796 --> 00:45.804
^that if this is something that's going on

00:45.804 --> 00:47.438
then we can help them

00:47.438 --> 00:48.684
or we can guide them to the right sources

00:48.684 --> 00:50.267
that can help them.

00:50.291 --> 00:51.684
- [Kaleb Voiceover] And this is only

00:51.684 --> 00:53.767
the first of many events.

00:54.294 --> 00:55.353
- This is a recurring thing.

00:55.353 --> 00:56.450
We want to try and do this

00:56.450 --> 00:57.647
something along these lines

00:57.647 --> 00:58.706
once a quarter.

00:58.706 --> 01:00.762
Whether it be basketball or bowling

01:00.762 --> 01:03.505
or go outside and play soccer or something like that

01:03.505 --> 01:04.714
we want to get involved with the youth

01:04.714 --> 01:07.655
and let them know that we're a viable resource for them.

01:07.655 --> 01:10.108
This will be our first official event.

01:10.108 --> 01:11.935
We tried to plan an event a couple months back

01:11.935 --> 01:14.459
but the fires that happened on base

01:14.459 --> 01:16.876
kind of disturbed that event.

01:17.292 --> 01:19.294
So we're gonna start with this one here

01:19.294 --> 01:20.522
as our first official event

01:20.522 --> 01:23.280
and I think it's gonna be a pretty good time.

01:23.280 --> 01:24.597
- [Kaleb Voiceover] Win or lose

01:24.597 --> 01:27.847
everyone had fun and a good discussion.

01:28.006 --> 01:30.470
Reporting from Vandenberg Air Force Base.

01:30.470 --> 01:32.970
I'm Staff Sgt. Kaleb Mayfeild.
