INDIANAPOLIS — Football has a way of teaching the lessons of life. It’s especially true for the Indy Firehawks.
The youth sports organization looks to offer affordable opportunities to play football to at-risk youth in Indianapolis. “Football is kind of like a more disciplined sport,” explained Founder Travon Smith. “We can get the kids through discipline and just working on their everyday life skills.”He says a mentor would’ve helped him as a child.
“I do it for the kids,” Blake said. “If they're not having a good day in school, they can come out here and they can trust me.”“Some kids don't have their mom and dad at home,” explained Smith. “Having us there — that male figure — to push them harder, even though we're not actually their father, I think it goes a long way.”You can learn more about opportunities offered by the organization by visiting their Facebook.
