Tigers United Mentorship and Sports
Program Coordinator

A subsidiary of Rockingham County Champions for Education, the Reidsville Tigers Program consist of four divisional football teams, basketball and cheer squads ranging from ages four through twelve.  Our staff is highly qualified and motivated instructors that are eager to train, educate, and mentor Rockingham County youth. Team sports build confidence, self-esteem, good character, and social development skills in children. Our desire is to maintain an environment where individuals can come together with expectations of integrity, hard work, and success.  We believe sports activities contribute to shaping stronger youth once children start understanding their purpose while inheriting positive thinking.  It is very important for children to understand they have value in Rockingham County.
