In response to stories from local
headlines and newspapers around the country describing the terror
experienced by those effected by acts of violence, The Joseph
Matteucci Foundation has created programs that are available
to schools, students, athletes, coaches, umpires, administrators
and parents teaching skills that enable participants to take
a stand against violence.

- Sports
Emblem Program:
-
- The Sports Emblem Program is
designed to educate parents, coaches, and players of youth sport
teams to the importance of good sportsmanship. The program includes
Alexandra sharing the story of the loss of her son to a senseless
act of violence. After taking a pledge to play in a sportsmanlike
manner all participants are presented with an emblem that serves
as a physical reminder of one mother's loss and the athletes
pledge to play safely.

Programs:
-
- Are the Adults Role Models for
the Youth in your League? Parents, coaches, umpires and other
adults in your league are the key to teaching young athletes
sportsmanlike behavior. Adults who are acting out put everyone
involved, especially the children, at risk. The Sportsmanship
Program will help to educate adults on how to promote sportsmanship
to "problem parents" so the youth will have appropriate
behaviors from which to model.
