Value of Sport

Empowering Youth through Equal Access and Opportunity

At Value of Sport, we are deeply committed to making Manchester a better place to live, work, play and raise a family. We believe that starts with confident, motivated and successful students.

Our work will begin with teaching 4th grade students the values of Goal Setting, how to create a Vision Board, having a Personal Life Coach and Educational Mentor. In addition, we will provide students access to Sports Programs, Art, Music and Mental Health Awareness.

We believe through participation in these Programs, the students will learn the values of Accountability, Best Effort, Building Lifelong Relationships, Discipline, Embracing Failure, Goal Setting, a Life Coach and Teamwork.

Our Life Coaches will work with their students on a year-round basis and through their entire school experience.

Our Vision

We act to create a world where every child is given the skills and support to live an empowered and successful life, and they in turn, give it back to the next generation.

"Police officers are in a strong position to be a role model and mentor for our youth to assist them in achieving social competence and influencing them in a positive way and promoting positive and productive outcomes. The Value of Sport Program is the ideal conduit to achieve this and the men and women of the Manchester Police Department are proud and honored to be part of this program."

The program was developed to help our kids, through sports, make personal connections with community mentors and role models. It is our sincere hope that this program will give all who are able to participate the confidence, life skills and lessons for future success.
