opportunities to City youth. Organizations seeking funding should have a specific program that directly
impacts the ability of the youth in the City to access recreational activities. Grants may be used for specific
programs being created or expanded or for scholarships to low-income youth who otherwise may not be
able to paiticipate (e.g., a sport league fee and/or uniform cost). Grants are not awarded to support ongoing
general, operating, or administrative expenses. Grants are not awarded to organizations whose
projects/activities primarily serve their congregation or existing membership. Recipients are required

includes a Core Values/Life Skill Training aspect and you prefer not to attend the City training
session, please indicate which program and training module your program uses.

Muskegon Public Schools mission is to provide the best for every child every day! Our goal is to promote our
fundamental core values of respect, physical fitness, integrity and sportsmanship by providing a safe,
welcoming environment through weekly activities and weekend events. The MYBL & MPS 21st CCLC
Department, event staff, and coaches partnered ve1y closely with the building principals, dean of students, and
teachers of each participating school building to ensure that all student athletes are meeting behavior &
academic expectations outlined by their respective schools and school districts. Each participating coach is
required to undergo a background check and CPR training. Each week teams practice 3-4 days to ensure they
are staying active and physically fit. In addition to the open gym events that were held on Sunday afternoons,
all league games were held on Satmday mornings/afternoons. On the final day of the league, all players will
be awarded with a pizza party and given a medal for their participation and a celebration of sportsmanship.
Core Values/Life Skills: Discuss how you plan to incorporate these values and skills into your program
(it is not necessary to have an entire plan outlined- you will learn how to do this at the Workshop, if you
do not already have a program that includes these values and skills). Indicate whether you will attend the
Workshop offered by the City (and how many people will attend), or if you have your own training that
is already incorporated into your program.
This is the MYBL third year in existence. Om fundamental Core Values of respect, physical fitness,
integrity and sportsmanship were incorporated throughout om program from stait to finish. Focusing on
respect and integrity not only helped our program, but it also helped the overall development of our youth.
Partnering with various staff members including coaches, principals, deans, teachers, and event staff was key
in incorporating integrity and respect as it allowed each child to be upheld to the same level of standards no
matter where they were. Although all of om core values are important, physical fitness was encouraged
around the clock as players were running back and fomth down the comt an average of 5 days per week.
Each team practiced 3 days per week, as well participated on gameday which was Saturday, and open gym
which was held on Sunday. All players were continuously commended for their outstanding sportsmanship
and as a final gesture, they were awarded with a Pizza party and a recognition medal. Watching the Core
Values shine through each child was the greatest moment of all.
