SPIRITUAL
Foundation:
The most critical pillar is to ensure the
youth have a strong spiritual
foundation. Our partnership with the
Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is an
exciting opportunity that will further
enhance our commitment to assisting youth
build strong relationships with Christ.
The FCA has been challenging coaches and
athletes on the professional, college, high
school, junior high and youth levels to use
the powerful medium of athletics to impact
the work for Jesus Christ since 1954. In
its 54 years of existence, FCA did not
create a footprint in the world of
basketball until now. Courtney Alexander’s
Georgia Press will be the face of FCA
basketball globally.
ACADEMIC Preparedness:
Partnering with students from local colleges
and Universities allows us to provide
tutorial assistance to students. This pillar
provides highly individualized, one-on-one
instruction, free from distractions,
allowing students to narrow in on strengths
and weaknesses.
COMMUNITY Involvement:
This pillar keeps our students participating
in local communities. From Larry Jones Feed
the Children, Nourish the Children, and
Habitat for Humanity, regularly scheduled
commitments will be scheduled and honored.
SOCIAL SKILLS Development:
This pillar is a customized curriculum that
addresses key areas of social skills
development. The core curriculum includes,
classroom skills, interpersonal
relationships/friendships, identifying and
expressing feelings, relieving stress,
making decisions, replacement skills for
aggression, and self-acceptance. The
curriculum is built around the recommended
best practices of establishing the need,
modeling the skills, role playing the skill
with feedback, and generalizing the skill
through easy-to-teach, uniform format
activities.
ATHLETIC Excellence:
The importance of proper attitude, hard work
and discipline is emphasized in this pillar.
The educational component teaches youth the
importance of proper nutrition, training and
physical fitness. |
