CHAMP Elite Team Award - Fort Collins, Colorado

Have you had frustration at your child’s game get the better of you?

Have you yelled out onto the field a negative comment to your child, their teammates, your coach or the official?

Now, how do you think your child feels about your behavior?

CHAMP would like to help you be a parent of character in supporting your child(ren)
as they perform on the field.

At CHAMP, we have a vision of a community in which athletes are allowed to perform to the best of their abilities; parents are supportive of their teams, regardless of the score; coaches have the tools and understanding to teach athletic and leadership skills; and the team community does not feel the need to express negative emotions. Character can lead us to this vision.

Parent Testimonials

“My family has been so happy and confident to participate in the Rookie league for the first time, primarily because Coach Ron Frasco’s Mustangs understand and practice true sportsmanship. As these boys step into the world of manhood, the coaches place responsibilities on the players regarding their baseball behavior, attitudes and even outside habits (such as caring for their uniforms and schedules). Our son has witnessed other teams fall apart under frustration, while our team has faced wins and losses with admirable courage and grace. The whole CHAMP program is to be applauded for encouraging, recognizing and celebrating excellence in the character leadership.”

“Volleyball is one of my daughter’s passions. However, the skills she has acquired go far beyond the court. I have seen her positive attitude and her hard work, accountability for her actions and her ability to learn from her mistakes extend, not only to other sports, but into the classroom. Being a part of a “team” and relying not only on yourself, but others, is the foundation for success in almost all future activities. Whether it is sports, work, family or the community, hard work, positive attitude even when things are not going your way, accountability for your actions and respect for others is the foundation for success!”

“My daughter plays basketball for Lincoln Junior High. I also coach football at Lincoln. Here are some facts that describe the character I hope my daughter and her teammates learn and use.

I try to teach my daughter to be a good person, student and leader. By playing sports, she will be around coaches that will reinforce anyting about character building that I try to teach at home. It is easy for teens to get into trouble today. However, by playing sports they have a chance to be with other teens after school, trying to accomplish athletic and academic goals that will reap benefits down the road.

Lincoln is a tough place to teach and coach. There are a lot of good people there, from administrators, teachers and students. I do feel comfortable sending my daughter there to learn and grow. When I see my daughter play, I am proud of her. I am more comfortable knowing that the CHAMP program is reminding players, parents and coaches that building character in a teen is more important than winning games.”
