New to the Game

We are The Providence Packers and we are new to the game. This team was established by three people with a dream, they are Mr. Richard Vaughan, Mr. Wayne Blackmon and Mrs. Betty Jackson. Their dream is as follows:

The goal of The Providence Packers is consistent with the core mission of the Organization: to provide excellent educational opportunities for a diverse youth population. Our student-athletes will be viewed as students first, and only then as athletes. The Providence Packers will focus on providing contributions to society.

Academics achievements in the classroom, together with the development of character, individual and team skills, the will to win, and a sense of fair play and sportsmanship in athletic competition determines distinction in youth athletics programs. Such groups require commitment from our youth, parents, alumni, community and friends at all levels of interest.

The Providence Packers will strive to be a leader in areas of ethics, non-discrimination, diversity and authentic fiscal integrity throughout The City of Providence, the State of Rhode Island and the country. At the time, student-athletes must be given the greatest preparation, motivation and support.
