Mission Statement:
St. Pete Gators Youth Sports encourages youth development by
providing opportunities for personal and athletic growth. SPG promotes
sportsmanship, self-esteem, and the development of life skills through
engaging youth in sports while providing a safe, healthy, positive
environment where the youth of our community can learn the fundamentals
of sports. Reaching out
to high-risk, inner-city youth and getting them off of the streets into
the playing field is at the core of SPG youth program.
We embrace the kids
enthusiasm and use our program to equip them with the necessary tools
in becoming successful in life. Participants receive athletic
instruction in one-on-one and group settings, and practice skills in
team format play. They learn about rules of the game, sportsmanship,
positive attitudes, fair play, self-esteem, taking responsibility for
choices, and management of emotions. These life skills are integrated
throughout the Football & Cheer Programs, and instructors routinely
demonstrate how they apply to situations in all aspects of life.
