Flag Football Teaches Leadership, Sportsmanship at Savannah Grove The Savannah Grove Flag Football Club is now up and running! This would not have been possible without the gracious donations from community members and Florence One staff through Donors Choose. We have brand new footballs, flags, practice jerseys, and other equipment for our students to use. The club meets every Thursday from 2:30-4:00 PM and offers social interaction in an organic environment, physical activity, sportsmanship, leadership and team building. We are so grateful for the opportunity to provide this free, accessible extracurricular activity to improve the well-being and development of our students. One of the goals of the club is to provide leadership and positive male role models to influence and guide our young men. Currently, three regular coaches help run the club and work with our kids. With 40 young men participating, additional volunteers would be welcome! Additionally, community members, especially male role models, are encouraged to come speak to our young men about leadership and building character. Speakers are always encouraged to stay and participate in one of our sessions! Students have enjoyed learning the game of football with their teammates, competing, and learning character and good sportsmanship. The program has also impacted student effort and behavior in the classroom. Students have been motivated to avoid discipline issues in class and have become more attentive to instruction and in completing assignments. It has been a pleasure to see our young men enjoy this new opportunity and we hope for continued growth and success!
