Sport Changes Life Honour Roll programme focuses on young people aged 10-16, either in primary or secondary school, who may have attendance or behavioural issues and who have perhaps given up hope and become disengaged from the realms of education. Additionally, we offer the schools programme as a alternative to physical education by incorporating motivational and structured coaching sessions.
The primary school ‘Honour Roll Schools Programme’ is an 10-week intervention that incorporates a multi-sport programme with inspirational workshop discussions to raise the aspirations of young people and help with the transition from primary education to ‘big school’.
Each weekly session lasts for 90 minutes and uses sport to connect with young people and focuses on different topics that equip our young people for life in secondary school. Victory Scholars support our core staff by serving as mentors and role models whilst providing inspiration and guidance. Topics include: Hopes & Fears, Bullying, Staying Safe Online, Healthy Lifestyles, Goal Setting, What is Victory?’, Peer Pressure and Health & Well-Being.
Our 10 week Honour Roll programme can easily be adapted to suit secondary schools with the focus shifting from the transition between schools, to supporting behavioural and attainment levels of young people who appear to be struggling with education. The school can put forward a single class or nominate a select group of pupils to participate, availing of engaging sport and physical sessions followed by mentoring and personal development workshops. The programme will be implemented into the school timetable.
This is a 12 week programme offered to schools located in areas of disadvantage and low socioeconomic status. It is an after school activity that has a core goal of providing a source of educational inspiration. The programme is designed to increase levels of physical activity and gain exposure to new sports, but also to re-engage young people with the realms of education under the guidance of our team of professional sports mentors, coaches and a qualified teacher. This has shown to improve attainment and attendance levels in the school system but also encourages raised awareness around health and well- being
Victory Assemblies are 20 minute presentations that will motivate young people to become their own version of ‘Victory’, and provide the tools and inspiration to achieve it. American Victory Scholars will share how they personally have become Victory, the elements of Victory, and how young people can become their own victory in just three easy steps. The young people will leave the assembly inspired to stay positive and pursue their goals.
Victory Coaching develops the sport of basketball to connect Victory Scholars to young people in need of guidance and support all while developing the game. In the 6-8 week hour-long programs, Victory Scholars work in their local community and its schools to develop the team’s basketball skills and provide motivation, inspiration, and positivity in a fun and engaging environment.
