Curriculum Value Map
The index to everything else. All 36 values, the order they are taught in, three scheduling models for different program lengths, and the structure contract every other document follows.
The curriculum library
Most youth character programs describe their curriculum. We publish ours. Twelve documents, 197 pages, every lesson written three times for three age bands. Eleven are published here, free, with no email required — for any coach, parent, school or funder who wants to see exactly what we teach.
A funder cannot evaluate a curriculum they are not allowed to read, and a coach cannot deliver one they have to take on faith. Everything below is the working source — the same files our coaching app reads. When we correct something, this page changes.

The four pillars — 36 lessons, each written for three age bands
Nine lessons on staying with something after it stops being easy, and on what to do with the feeling that shows up when it does. Each lesson carries a huddle-in question, three moments a coach watches for, a huddle-out prompt and a carry-it-home challenge.
Nine lessons treating leadership as a set of small repeatable behaviors rather than a title. Written so the quiet child has as many entry points as the loud one.
Nine lessons on what a child brings to the field before anything happens, and what they do with the ninety seconds after something goes wrong.
Nine lessons on knowing who you are when no one is watching and no score is being kept. The pillar the other three exist to serve.
Sport adaptations — organized by tactical family, not one per sport
Tennis, pickleball and volleyball. Sports where you play against someone across a barrier, so the character moments cluster around line calls, momentum swings and what you do between points. Fourteen of the 36 lessons carry a sport-specific variant here.
Soccer, basketball and flag football. Sports where you share space with your opponent, so the moments cluster around off-ball work, contact, and the teammate who did not get the ball.
Swimming, running and track. Sports measured against a clock rather than an opponent, where the character work is almost entirely internal. Also carries our binding water-safety standard — a seven-item launch gate no swim program opens without.
Before a sport, a body. Movement vocabulary, instructional constraints for very young children, and session design for the age band where character teaching looks nothing like it does at twelve.
Beyond the field
Health literacy built to federal Make America Healthy Again priorities, applied academics, community awareness and cultural literacy. Adopts the Presidential Fitness Test as our shared benchmark.
The evidence base behind every claim we make, graded honestly as strong, mixed or advocacy — including four things we will not put in a grant application because the research does not support them. If you only read one document, read this one.
Coach materials
Escalation procedure, curriculum fidelity rules, and the binding conduct standards every coach agrees to. Issued directly to coaches at onboarding rather than posted publicly, because it names the individual safeguarding lead a coach or family contacts and how to reach them.
