Each player on the Dragons was chosen for his unique abilities, “coachable” personality and good character. For some boys they may not realize their importance to the team, their potential for improvement, and that they are in fact an athlete. Our goal under RAISE the T program is to encourage these realizations and to develop skills, understanding of the game, and to provide an environment that supports good character. While we spend a majority of our time developing skills and understanding, we must not forget the real reason we work so hard . . . the athlete as a person.
