MISSION
We Shape Character
Our mission is: to assist our members to reach their full academic and athletic potential by providing a secure and supportive environment. This new stable environment is where they can develop the necessary skills to perform at their highest possible levels on and off the field. ESI is a non-profit organization committed to the revival of inner-city communities. As an organization we will seek out and partner with other private and public organizations, institutions and businesses that share our vision. At ESI we believe that change and awareness can only happen through education. Moreover, we will use athletics as a vessel to help our members reach secondary and post-secondary educational institutions.
Our Vision
Brilliance In All
The vision of Educational Sports Institute is to teach youth to improve the quality of their character through sports. Playing sports means children are expected to follow rules, accept decisions and understand that they could be penalized for bad behavior. It teaches them to take directions from the coach, referees, and other adults.Helping children and youth to become educated and goal-oriented members of society can encourage future generations to do the same. Our vision is simple: educate the youth, change the community.
