PROJECT SUMMARY
Under new management by the newly elected Coach, a sports team of 15 boys and 15 girls was constructed. This was a task in itself as the teams were always loosely regimented, previously. Monthly meetings were implemented with a total of three meetings where the sports team's future was discussed.
It was decided that the team members most wanted team uniforms to play in. They thought this would inspire team spirit and unification. It also would give them pride in their team when playing against opposing teams. The team decided they would rather have an outside source create the uniforms, as the women's sewing group did not have the patterns. The teams came up with their top three favorite colors and style of uniform. Woodpecker Products was chosen to construct the uniforms in Georgetown where they were able to make the uniforms in the team's first choice of color.
They also chose to see me on an individual basis, instead of having big group health teachings. They thought this would allow them to receive health information confidentially, on topics they chose. These topics included adolescent development, family planning, STI prevention, and maintenance of body injury.
BENEFICIARIES
Immediate: The youth in White Water love to play sports, rain or shine. Keeping them active in a team-building group that promotes healthy lifestyles will steer the members to continue in activities that promote well-being.
Long-term: There are other youths that are currently interested in the sports team but have not made an active membership. As they begin to see the positive outcomes for the participants it will further their desire to join.
