What is a RICHER experience?
The word "RICHER" identifies the sportsmanship values of the Stay In Bounds program. RICHER means youth and their communities supporting and practicing these important values:

Respect
demonstrating respect for themselves and others, both in class and at play.

Integrity
conducting themselves with honesty and integrity.
Caring
demonstrating care for teammates and opponents.
Harmony
appreciating the value of other cultures, differences and points of view.
Excellence
striving for excellence.
Responsibility

How would I benefit from the program?
The Stay In Bounds experience will benefit students by providing materials and quality presentations, and touring the College Football Hall of Fame, where interactive exhibits, presentations and hands-on experiences explain and support sportsmanship values. The program has been designed around 3rd and 4th grades; 5th and 6th grades; and 7th and 8th grades. Teachers can receive classroom materials for each of these groups.
