Queen City Prep Basketball is hoping to get the Liberty Mutual community grants award worth $2,500 as part of its Responsible Sports™ program. 
United States of America (Press Release) June 5, 2008 --
For twenty motivated youth sports organizations across the nation, the Liberty Responsible Sports™ program will soon make a very memorable contribution, in the amount of $2500. Queen City Prep Basketball is hoping to be one of them.
Community Grants are part of Liberty Mutual’s Responsible Sports program, which is an ongoing effort championing and celebrating responsibility in youth sports. This community-based program offers meaningful, easy-to-use educational resources for youth sports parents and coaches, including access to on-the-field game and practice preparation tools, as well as self-paced online coursework filled with learning tools and topics addressing youth sports issues.
“The Liberty Mutual Responsible Sports program targets many of the issues we see happening at youth sporting events by shining a positive light on what it means to be a responsible coach and a responsible sports-parent. Beyond that, Liberty Mutual is making a significant financial contribution to support the efforts of local organizations like Queen City Prep Basketball,” said Greg Gordon vice president of Consumer Marketing at Liberty Mutual.
The Responsible Sports program, including the Community Grants and Responsible Coaching Awards, come at a crucial time for communities like ours. Like other communities across the U.S., our own youth sports programs are under pressure from increasing numbers of participants, limited volunteer activity and mounting program management and administration costs. The Responsible Sports program provides access to valuable resources and assets that can ensure our organizations thrive even under challenging circumstances.
“Queen City Prep Basketball is designed to help young players develop the skills necessary to reach their full potential as college basketball players. Our coaches emphasize developing the complete player, working on the fundamentals of the game. We believe this is important in order for today’s basketball player to succeed. Our coaches’ knowledge, experience and leadership skills give players the opportunity to take their game to the next level and we believe that our players’ perception of our performance is always the reality,” said Tony Taylor, head coach of Post-Graduate Basketball.
Queen City Prep Basketball is registered for the Responsible Sports program. They are encouraging individual community members to complete one of the self-paced online courses (Responsible Coaching and Responsible Sport Parenting) and take a 10-question review quiz. Every completed quiz is worth one certification. The twenty organizations that earn the most certifications will be awarded a $2,500 Responsible Sports Community Grant. The more people each registered organization gets to complete the courses, the greater its chances of winning.
Queen City Prep Basketball, located in Charlotte, NC, is a non-profit organization that prepares young men for college athletics via its high school and post-graduate basketball programs for young men ages 14 to adulthood. Founded by Tony Taylor, Queen City Prep Basketball players come from all over the country to be a part of this program which helps to develop them socially, emotionally, physically, spiritually and academically to ensure their success as college students and college athletes.
