Teammates For Kids and Garth Brooks, partnered to hold youth sports camps at every city during his World and Stadium Tours. Teammate athletes in each city volunteered their time to coach kids in one of eight different sports.
In addition to learning the fundamentals of a specific sport, the coaches discuss with the kids what it means to be a Good Teammate and how to incorporate the to Five Words of Wisdom … Attitude, Character, Courage, Discipline and Respect into their lives on-and-off the field. At one of the camps Garth hoped that in addition to those five words, the kids left the camp with another life lesson, “The greatest thing these kids will learn today is how to love one another.”
Teammates For Kids covered all of the costs associated with the camps and all of the young athletes participated at no charge, Brooks added, “None of these kids pay a dime to be here, not of these coaches are paid a dime to be here – the volunteers, they are angels walking among us.”
