Module 1:

Introduction:
The value of athletics in schools is significant and cannot be overlooked. It has a
profound impact on individuals, schools, and communities. Athletics is powerful because it
can bridge gaps, bring people who otherwise might not interact together, and provide
opportunities not available elsewhere. See several of the key benefits of having an established
and successful athletics program at your school here.
