Project PLAY (Promoting Literacy from Athletes to Youth) is a literary program focusing on creating a role model relationship between the athletes and the children. The purpose of this program is to show the kids how "cool" reading can be, promote school spirit, and encourage kids to "idolize" the athletes and follow their actions. It is a great program for schools large and small. We started this program in the elementary school, where Bushland athletes would read to the children. The athletes consisted of football players and volleyball players.
