MIGHTY DUCKS <br />YOUTH SPORTS GRANT PROPOSAL <br />REQUESTED FOR THE <br />ALL AMERICAN GIRL HOCKEY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM <br />ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW <br />The Sports For Life (SFL) Group is a non -profit entity created with one singular purpose: "To make it <br />possible for every aspiring sports enthusiast, irrespective of his /her financial or social status, to be able to <br />participate in the most progressive athletic and life skills training in the quest to enhance their overall personal <br />development." ( SFL)'s ability to coordinate successful "life education through sports" events in such activities as <br />football, basketball, and volleyball for the past nine years has resulted in continued corporate and community <br />support. (SFL)'s comprehensive approach to nurturing the "total" person represents a one of a kind experience <br />that is unique in that it provides fmancial aide scholarships to its participants. Due to the growth of female hockey, <br />(SFL) is appealing for a YOUTH SPORTS GRANT in order to provide opportunities in an otherwise cost <br />prohibitive sport as well as offset the ever growing number of financial aide requests it is currently receiving. <br />PROGRAM OVERVIEW <br />The All American Girl Hockey Program, (sponsored by SFL), will provide student - athletes with learning <br />opportunities not offered by any other sports camp. The focus of this six month experience will be to assist each <br />participant in becoming a performer of life by not only emphasizing the physical component of on -ice competition, <br />but also by addressing the many off -ice life style issues which will ultimately confront young women. The staff, <br />which will be comprised of the most recognized female role models on the female hockey scene, will strive to <br />emphasize how all aspects of the All American Girl school experience will nurture esteem building, leadership and <br />people skills in the goal of becoming a success on the arenas of life. <br />In order to reinforce the lessons of this six month program, participants may choose from a series of <br />components to be involved. They are as follows: <br />Page 103 <br />
