Here's what we do for players to ensure a successful visit

One

We teach players about the Negro Leagues and player Sam Hairston's success strategies before their classroom visit.

We provide teachers a lesson plan for the player's visit, aligned to academic standards.

Two

Students prepare for the player's visit by writing about goals they have for their future.

We facilitate the 1-hour player's visit to the classroom, where students discuss goals and strategies for success with the visiting player.

Three

The 1-hour visit includes time for photos & photographs too.
After the visit, students compose personal narratives about how they'll apply what they learned.

We return to get the narratives, and deliver them to the player.

Have fun while giving back to the local community

Players just let us know what school they want to visit, and we'll do the rest.

Don't have a school?

Then we locate one for them.
