Some of our community events that we
partnered with are Oregon State University Football Camp, San Bernardino County
Foster/Kin Youth Sports Faire, SH&K mentors speak at elementary schools; sharing
their experiences on the value of education, City of Fontana Annual Youth Football
Camp and World Youth Football League. In September 2010 we will be assisting
in our 2nd Punt, Pass and Kick event which are affiliated with the San
Diego Chargers.
This year was our 10 year
milestone; on July 10th we held our 100th free clinic for
kickers, punters & snappers. We are very proud of the fact that for the
last ten years we have had great success in teaching kids football kicking
skills and providing personal growth opportunities through a structured program
in a relaxed learning environment. Our mission is to educate America’s youth through sports and education and this would have not be possible without all the
volunteers and community partners throughout the years.
