  1. Student Diversity: Football Camp hosted by the Carrollton Police Department By: KimberleeHathcock

  2. Name of Organization: Carrollton Police Department Rationale and Nature of Service: Providing a free football camp to teach team building skills and football techniques. Number of Students Served: Approximately 25 each day. Length of Service: June 25 to June 29 9:00am to 3:00pm 30 Hours Total Description of Project

  3. The Carrollton Police Department designed a camp that would teach the youth involved team building skills and some of the fundamentals of the game of football. They were taught to work together no matter what their gender, race, age or socio-economic background may be. Each day, the leaders of the camp provided necessary instruction to not only teach football techniques, but to instill the need of strong teamwork and support for one another. Description of ProjectContinued

  4. On the first day, students were not aware of the necessity of being team players. Students did not encourage the success of others, which led to tempers flaring on the field. Strong players became frustrated with weak players, causing the weak players to lose morale. There were many players who had never played football and became discouraged during drills. • The leaders used the weaker players as demonstrative tools and urged the other players to give them encouragement as they were taught skills of the game. Project Findings

  5. As the week progressed, the division between the strong and weak players began to disappear. • As the weak players grew stronger, the encouragement from the strong players increased as well. All players began helping each other and they began to come together as a team. • Once players felt as though they were all a part of one team, the stronger players began to both encourage and attempt to teach the weaker players. Project FindingsContinued

  6. At the end of the week, all of the players were working as one team and the differences between the weaker and stronger players were forgotten. • The lessons and team building skills that the coaches taught the players helped them to understand the importance of supporting one another and how that can lead to strength through unity. Project FindingsContinued

  7. Diversity among players • Age • Gender • Body Image/Ability Difficulties/Challenges

  8. Theory Chosen: Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory • Description: In his theory, Erikson described psychological growth from infancy through old age. This theory portrays people as playing an active role in their own psychological development through their attempts to understand, organize, and integrate their every day experiences. Cultural goals, aspirations, expectations, requirements, and opportunities are highlighted in this theory. • Erikson’s theory has eight stages of psychosocial development. Theory

  10. Stage 4: Industry Versus Inferiority (6 to 11 years old) • Behavior is dominated by intellectual curiosity and performance. If children at this age are encouraged to make and do things well, helped to persevere, allowed to finish tasks, and praised for trying, industry results. If the children’s efforts are unsuccessful or if they are derided or treated as bothersome, feelings of inferiority result. • When children feel inferior, they may not take pride in doing intellectual work and may believe that they will never excel. Stages Observed

  11. Stage 5: Identity versus Role Confusion (12 to 18 years old) • The goal at this stage is development of the roles and skills that will prepare adolescents to take a meaningful place in adult society. • The danger at this stage is role confusion, which means having no clear conception of appropriate types of behavior. • If adolescents succeed in integrating roles in different situations, identity develops. If they are unable to establish a sense of stability, role confusion results. Stages ObservedContinued

  12. My Argument • Students need diversity in order to have a broader understanding of the inter-workings of society and how different genders, races, and socio-economic backgrounds interact with one another to help society function effectively as a whole. • Supporting Evidence • On the football field, students were faced with diversity, but after recognizing the importance of including all members, weak and strong, they learned that using the strengths of some to teach others made the weak strong as well. The students learned how to overcome diversity to become one team. Argument
