PHILOSOPHY

Our philosophy is that team sports is a symbol for life. We feel that learning to overcome the adversity one faces on the football field prepares an individual for the adversity he or she may one day face later on in life. We, as coaches and mentors, feel that it is incumbent upon us to help children grow into well-rounded young adults.

MISSION

• The mission of our program is to provide the youth in Hampton and surrounding cities an opportunity to develop talents and skills they will use today and later on in life, both on and off the field. It is our belief that team sports are a positive way to foster racial harmony, community integration, and infuse the ideals of placing the team's goal in front of the individual's goal. Me first attitudes are discarded and replaced by an ethic of teamwork and a firm commitment to positive group interaction through individual character development.

• It is our belief that team sports generally and football specifically offers individuals the chance to build character, self esteem and team values by increasing a child's desire to strive for individual excellence while contributing to the team as a whole.
