Samuel L. Felton Jr. Athletic Club
It is the mission of Samuel L. Felton Jr. Athletic Club to provide an active and safe environment that promotes and enhances the physical, emotional, and social well-being and development of young athletes. It is also the goal of the sports club to develop an individual’s athletic skills, work ethic, discipline, sportsmanship, self-respect and pride; while also providing entertainment to citizens of the community.
Our organization wants to introduce organized sports to students at a young age. In contrast to many inner-city areas, many suburbs have a full array of youth sports with strong financial support. A late start for urban children, especially urban girls, in organized sports robs them of the opportunity for physical activity, coaching, being part of a team, learning skills, and substantial time away from "negative recreation". This program will coincide with our Mentoring an A+ Attitude program because we believe that skills learned in both will take our youth far into the lives they want to live.
