We would like to thank all of our Life CHAMPS participants for a great 2010 season!!! 

We would like to encourage everyone that at Life CHAMPS, we believe that success in competition is all about being the best one can be in pursuit of winning, while understanding the journey is more important than the outcome.  It is the things we learn about ourselves and others that assist in the development of character, overcoming obstacles, dying to self, and improving each step of the journey with a positive attitude regardless of the score board.

 

Success at Life CHAMPS is not perfection.  None of us can attain that.  Nevertheless, we will always encourage Life CHAMPS participants to always pursue their personal best regardless of the mental, physical and emotional struggle that often comes with competing on the fields of competition and the classroom.  Success at Life CHAMPS is defined as giving 100% effort with your soul, mind, and body during the journey.  With this in mind, our primary objective will be to develop the “whole little person” athletically, educationally, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

 

Building CHAMPIONS FOR LIFE!!!!!

Life CHAMPS Youth Sports has made some incredibly dynamic changes for the 2010 season.

Posted April 28, 2010

“It’s a good year for white pants and jerseys,” said Life CHAMPS director Ben Faires with a big smile. “Through our good friends at Pulaski Academy, Little Rock Central, and War Memorial (and maybe another school will step up and help us out), our Life CHAMPS tackle teams will have the opportunity to play big boy football on some of the finest football facilities in Arkansas.”


Life CHAMPS directors Anthony Lucas and Ben Faires with Coach Kevin Kelly from Pulaski Academy on the PA football field.   

When asked about the white jersey comment, Faires went on to say, “Everyone of these stadiums have state-of-the-art field turf.  It can rain for inches and inches and the worst thing that can happen is we play on a wet field.  No more mud and muck, just great kids playing great football.  This is a real opportunity to take things to an entirely different level and get our kids used to playing on the fields that they’ll be playing on at middle school and h
