YSA Answer Is:
(Q): How Does Your (S.A.L.L.) Programming Work?
(A): We use the vehicle of organized sports by offering Basketball, Football, Cheerleading, Golf and sports camps to disadvantaged inner city youth, in conjunction with our off the field academic, life skills and literacy programming.
Students will be required to meet academics and conduct policies in order to compete in our sports programs, by turning in weekly progress reports signed by their home room teacher. Youth participants with severe academic problems will be required to attend our Gear Up Tutoring program two times per week to resolve academic issues, while youth participants with satisfactory academics that meet YSA requirements, attendance will be optional.
Youth participants will also participate in various life skils and literacy activities that promote positive individual development, incorporated into fun activities that appeal to our future leaders of tomorrow.
