A local nonprofit athletic program for developmentally disabled kids and teens has expanded from the ice rinks to the grass fields.
San Diego Chill was created in 2013 by a La Jolla teenager for his Bar Mitzvah project. Isaiah Granet, who was 13 at the time, developed the program after he noticed a kid was always watching Granet's team play ice hockey but could not participate because he was mentally disabled.
Isaiah Granet's sibling, Ezra, admired his older brother's efforts and decided to expand the program in a big way when his Bar Mitzvah project came around."There was that same need in the community as there was for ice hockey but for more sports than just ice hockey," explaned Ezra.
