BENEFITS FOR YOUTH

Effective after school programs bring a wide range of benefits to youth, families and communities.  Afterschool programs can boost academic performance, reduce risky behaviors, promote physical health, and provide a safe, structured environment for the children of working parents.  The athletic programs are designed to teach the youth values outside of the sport itself, like teamwork and respect for others. 

Physical education and athletic activities offer improved health, enhanced self-esteem and self-confidence, in addition to increasing motor skills, fostering self-discipline, teamwork, creating leadership skills, the necessity in cooperating with others and strengthening peer relationships.
