The program was very successful. It puts inner-city children on a more level playing field with their suburban counterparts who have the advantages of nearby athletic programs, parks, and community centers. The importance of participation in sports and mentoring from coaches cannot be underestimated in the lives of the CISE children. This after-school study and sports program helps give them direction in the areas of teamwork and conflict resolution while promoting positive mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
