ENTERTAIN. INFORM. INSPIRE.
Here are a few great examples of how we affect the community.
“If you want to affect kids, you have to go where the kids are. When you combine the fascination of the Internet, the excitement of high school and youth sports, and a cool concept like DigitalSports, you have the opportunity to communicate with tens of thousands of kids and their parents on a weekly basis and make a difference.”
- Darrell Green, Former Redskin and Pro Football Hall of Famer
“There are three reasons why I believe that this is an exceptional program. Firstly, Digital Sports helps build community networks around youth sports; secondly, it involves students and provides an opportunity for them to develop skills through journalism and photograph;, and thirdly, it provides a revenue source to help sports programs in the city. I see this program as a successful go-to site for DCPS and a true partner with schools and communities.”
Michael Kimsey, President and Executive Director, Kimsey Foundation
“The program is enlightening, especially when getting deeply involved in the journalism and photography activities. I enjoy getting the recognition for my work and seeing it posted on the Internet. I enjoy having the title of sport journalist and photographer. This program gave me the opportunity to do something I’ve never done before. It got my attention. I am really interested in continuing my involvement in the program next year.”
Terence Porter, Former Student - Roosevelt High School and First Recipient of Digital Sports Media Scholarship Award
"Our top goals at Mt. Vernon have been to give the community a program they can be proud of and to make our kids feel like "kings". DigitalSports has definitely been a big part of that. Thanks for offering this top-notch site where our current and past players and their families can keep up with us anytime, anywhere. I wish we'd have had something like this when I was playing."
Jimmy Linza, Head Baseball Coach at Mount Vernon High School
