  1. To approach each session with two goals:
    SKILL DEVELOPMENT and FUN for each child. Our sessions are not successful if both are not achieved.
  2. To incorporate positive values like teamwork, sportsmanship, effort and courage into our teachings to help build character in children.
  3. To seek 100% participation from all children enrolled at a participating facility.
