This innovative program will expose today's youth, parents and educators of the true definition of bullying and it's many different forms of this devastating behavior.

 

Nationally statistics show that approximately 25% of students are bullied on a daily basis which has caused over 160,000 students to miss school. It is well documented that students who miss school due to this devastating behavior will increase their chances of failing which can lead to lack of grade promotion.  

 

Our program's goal is to enlighten the school's community, as a whole, of the "signs" of bullying, how to prevent bullying, the impact of bullying and to use basketball as the "hook" to draw bullied students back into the school environment.
