One of the most important life lessons for our children is learning to work together and support one another. What better way to impart these values than encouraging our kids to discover them on their own, on the basketball court?
Hoops to Homework is a weekend basketball league at Mercy Home that works to promote educational excellence and good sportsmanship. It serves as a personal and academic incentive for our kids—and a fun and rewarding way to achieve the benefits of exercise, stress release and teamwork.
The heart of the league lies in teaching our children the importance of valuing their education. To play each week, all kids must maintain a high grade point average and exercise good behavior and measurable growth in their programs here at Mercy Home.
Through organized games, our children find an outlet to relax and to experience something they rarely had before coming to Mercy Home—the opportunity to just be a kid.
