Creating More Opportunities for Students
There should be no debate that the education-based athletics concept should be the foundation of high school athletic programs. This model will provide the best environment for the growth and development of students involving life-long qualities and values, and not simply sport-specific skills.
For those who truly believe in and embrace this philosophical approach, wouldn't you want for as many young people to experience the benefits of participating as possible? Your answer should be, "absolutely!"
If you would like some realistic, concrete ideas on how to increase participation, and to create more opportunities, you will find some answers in Refocusing on Education-Based Athletics - A Call to Action. This resource can be found on Amazon.
