Our Vision
To see a movement of community sports programs inspiring youth to live purposely for the good of their nation, community, family and selves.
Our Mission
To equip coaches and leaders to help young people develop holistically through community-based sports initiatives.
Power of Sport
“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”
More than 41% of the world’s 7.7 billion people are under the age of 25. In a rapidly changing world, these young people face all kinds of struggles and challenges in the areas of identity, relationships, sexuality, drugs, alcohol, unemployment, family breakdown, poverty, internet gaming, stress, uncertainty and a lack of direction and hope for the future.
The future of a nation lies in the hands of its youth. So how can we support and mentor the world’s young people into lives of purpose, significance and meaning? We believe that a powerful relationship develops between a sports coach and his or her players, providing a context in which a coach can have a positive and life-transforming influence on the young people they mentor. Put simply: sport has the power to change lives!
