Brainerd Youth Association
“Sports for Kids”
Brainerd Youth Association exists to help build kids to be
successful, motivated and productive adults. We feel that many
inner-city youth are not benefiting from athletic possibilities
which can bring higher education and business opportunities. Too
many of our youth are not self-motivated and lack the drive to
accomplish a full life.
People in Chattanooga know there is a problem with our youth, yet we
are not striving to educate them to their fullest, outside the
school system. Early ages are where we can really influence our
children. We will not only benefit the youth, but we will benefit
the city. By providing a good positive environment we hope to guide
kids to a successful life by building dreams and hopes.
PURPOSE
To have an association to provide an athletic program that will
educate parents and youth with tools for life like team work,
commitment, responsibility, leadership and respectfulness.
AIM
To improve the
attitudes of kids through positive experiences in athletics.
We have reached most of these.
IMMEDIATE GOALS
-
To encourage
parental involvement.
-
To provide a
wholesome recreational environment.
-
To bring about
improved character and morals in our youth.
-
To improve
attitudes of athletes to strive for academic excellence.
-
To encourage
inner-racial and community gatherings.
-
To teach
fundamentals of team work.
-
To provide
positive role models.
-
To recognize our
past players.
-
To provide an
athletic program realizing what winning is and creating how to
win attitudes for life.
-
Our greatest
dream is to grow the Thanksgiving weekend Choo-Choo youth
football bowl, into the largest bowl in the South. When this
occurs, the financial gains will able us to assist parents that
can’t afford the cost of fees and equipment.
