Champions of Character®
Banner
Our mission is to provide training to instill the values that build character, so students, coaches and parents know, do, and value the right thing on and off the field.
The program helps participants find balance by keeping the five core values – integrity, respect,responsibility, sportsmanship, and servant leadership – at the heart of the athletics experience.
Students learn to understand how the values play out in both practice and competition. Coaches are taught how to intentionally define, model, shape, and reinforce these values through their coaching and mentoring. Parents learn how their behavior is key to supporting athletics.
