What kind of impact have you witnessed Responsible Athletes Program have in our community? “It creates bigger relationships within the students, not only do they interact at practice, from practice they take it to school which creates a better environment in our schools, there are less problems, less arguments and they create new friendships.” What, specifically, is your favorite part of the program, and why? “Not only the fact that they provide these sports programs for the kids that no one else offered but specifically the relationships that these kids create with one another. The sports seasons are continuous which allows the kids to communicate with one another at school or outside of school.” Can you think of a word or phrase that best describes our involvement in the community?“I would say,‘together everyone achieves more’ is the biggest factor in the program because everyone who's involved is a team player.”
