MORE THAN A GAME.

Setting attainable goals, overcoming challenges, and learning techniques to manage thoughts and emotions – these skills are learned through sports, but more importantly, they can be applied to other areas of life.

Coaches guide players to understand and develop core values: honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy, and judgment.

Coaches help players seek challenging tasks and push themselves to develop new skills. The goal is for young people to become their best coaches – whether on the field, at school, at home, or in life.

Physical activity helps develop healthy bones, joints, and muscles and prevent obesity. Coaches emphasize making healthy choices by eating well, getting enough sleep, and exercising.

Being involved in sports can help build a player’s self-confidence and social interactions. Coaches model and encourage youth to appreciate diversity and show respect to themselves, teammates, and fellow competitors.
