 Raft Racing  provides opportunities to build character, develop important life skills, and foster essential values that shape these young men into responsible adults. Through teamwork, discipline, and resilience, we learn lessons that extend far beyond the playing field, contributing to overall personal growth and character development. 

The value of teamwork in rafting cannot be understated. The U19 Men's team learns to work collaboratively with teammates to achieve victory. Learning how to respect and support others in competitive situations is demanding. Each member of the team has unique strengths and weaknesses. Together we promote the idea of inclusivity and cooperation. 

 Discipline is another essential quality that seeps from these men.  Regular training, adhering to schedules, and following coaches' directives require a level of commitment and self-control.  This sense of discipline is beneficial not just in rafting but in all aspects of life, including academics and future careers. 

 Resilience is a critical character trait fostered through rafting participation. We often face challenges such as losing games, overcoming injuries, or dealing with difficult opponents. These experiences teach how to cope with failure and setbacks, encouraging a growth mindset that emphasizes learning from mistakes rather than giving up. 

A sense of sportsmanship and fair play is essential. We understand the importance of respecting opponents, referees, and the rules of the game. Winning is not everything and how we conduct ourselves during competition is just as important as the outcome. This sense of integrity and respect for others fosters empathy and compassion, which are USARC values. 

 Raft racing plays a vital role in character building for boys that make the U19 team. By promoting teamwork, discipline, resilience, and sportsmanship, the lessons learned on the field extend beyond rafting. USARC is  equipping these athletes with the necessary skills and values to navigate life's challenges. As they grow into young men, the character traits developed will help them become responsible, respectful, and compassionate.
