Background, Goal and Mission
Statement
BACKGROUND
The concept of the VAC Training Initiative is a
collaborative effort between, the Detroit Recreation
Department (DRD), the Youth Sports and Recreation Commission
(YSRC now known as the Youth Development Commission - YDC), and the Sports Administration Department at Wayne
State University (WSU). We have initiated and provided a
coaching and sports management-training program for the
residents of Detroitand the Metropolitan Area. The program
was originally funded by the Skillman Foundation.
GOAL
To provide quality year-round training opportunities for
adult volunteers, coaches, and sport administrators who
participate in and/or supervise youth athletic programs in
Detroit, and the Metropolitan Area. The training program
will also produce leaders for recreational activities in
their communities.
MISSION
To equip adult participants with the knowledge and awareness
to ensure quality practices and strategies for youth
activities. VAC training will also provide education about
the skills necessary to enhance the physical and emotional
well being of the youthful participants involved in
organized sports in Detroit, and the Metropolitan Area. |
