Project SPIKE
(Sports Promotion for the Improvement of Kid’s Education)
Youth sports provide the students the means to strengthen their mind and body. We at Project SPIKE believe that youth sports can enhance the health and fitness of students. We believe that sports promote physical and mental well-being, self-esteem, leadership and teamwork, spirited competition, fairness and respect, and cama
raderie and goodwill among students. Project SPIKE aims to encourage and increase youth participation in sports, recreation and fitness activities, with the hopes that this program will:
• improve academic performance and concentration;
• enhance creativity and memory;
• develop problem-solving abilities;
• promote social interaction and teamwork;
• develop talents;
• improve student retention;
• teach sportsmanship;
• provide leadership opportunity; and
• foster a sense of community and sense of belonging. With its formation, it was resolved to include all types of sports equipment, such as basketball, volleyball, sepak takraw and badminton. We are hoping that through this program, we can increase the number of participants in sports. This donation will open many new opportunities for these young athletes as well as develop the mechanics necessary to enhance their skills. This donation will enable them to participate in tournaments, which will broaden their discipline and character and will bring honor to their school. That is why, with the help of this program and the donations that we are giving out, we encourage and increase youth participation in sports, recreation and fitness activities.
