Power Players by APS
Posted: Oct. 16, 2008
The APS Power Players program, launched in April 2005, supports the Arizona Character Education Foundation in promoting character education throughout the state. APS Power Players is a historical partnership between APS, the Arizona Character Education Foundation, the Arizona Department of Education and the state’s major professional and collegiate sports teams.
With this unique collaboration, sports clinics are used to help teach kids the basic principles of character using the Character Counts "Six Pillars of Character" - Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.
Through the APS Power Players program, students have the opportunity to receive professional athletic instruction coupled with some very important life lessons.
The purpose of these clinics is not only for students to receive sports training from professional athletes/staff, but also to learn about the importance of good character in life.
The program also provides development or improvement of select athletic facilities statewide. To learn more about APS Power Players or for an application for a clinic, please visit www.aps.com/powerplayers.
