Coach Donna Moir, who is also the AD at Sacred Heart, shared the following:
Sacred Heart basketball program just finished up the 4 pilliars of the SportsLeader program. We started out the basketball season with a retreat at one of our players homes. Having such a young team it was good to share stories and get to know one another off the court. Having the whole program together set the tone for us to support each other during the season.
The Dad/Daughter jersey ceremony was a great experience hearing the dad’s express their feelings for their daughters.
At our rosary rally we had all the local girls catholic schools come to the Ursuline Chapel to all pray together. It was very moving because we compete against each other but can all come together in prayer.
We just ended with our 4th pillar the Mother/Daughter letter ceremony. I think this was the one of the hardest for the players, but a very rewarding experience. Having to get up in front of your team and talk to your mom is a tough thing to do as a teenager. We are lucky that our players have parents that are active in their lives and hopefully the SportsLeader program will keep our players connected to their families.
I think the SportsLeader program was a success for our basketball program and we look forward to implementing it into some of our other athletic programs in the future.
