PROGRAM OVERVIEW

 

 

Mission Statement:

The Boston Urban Hockey Initiative’s SCORE Boston program provides inner-city youth with the opportunity to participate in the sport of hockey.  The objectives of SCORE Boston are to use hockey programs as a platform to foster an environment for youth in which they can learn life skills that reflect the values of our program:

                                           

                                            Sportsmanship

                                            Character

                                            Opportunity

                                            Respect

                                            Education

 

This not-for-profit organization is geared for girls and boys between the ages of 5-17 and is staffed by a highly motivated team of committed volunteers and coordinators with a vast array of hockey and educational experience.

 

The program consists of on and off-ice instruction.  The on-ice instruction teaches the basic and necessary skills associated with ice-skating and hockey.  Each weekly session ends with a scrimmage game where the players utilize their skills.  Adolescent participants have leadership opportunities on the ice and in the classroom in SCORE’s Jr. Coaches program.

 

The off-ice instruction consists of mandatory, weekly education sessions.  During these classroom sessions, the fundamentals of ice hockey are taught and subjects relative to everyday life focusing on teamwork, responsibility and community are reviewed.  Interaction, homework assignments, and participation of the children in the program are emphasized during these sessions.  Guest speakers often make presentations on topics such as violence prevention, sensitivity training, and many other issues that effect inner-city youth.
