James Washington took what he learned with the Police Athletic League and brought it to middle school students in Kensington.
"I'm the disciplinarian, but I'm more than just a disciplinarian," said James Washington. "I like to consider myself as a coach, as a mentor, as a teacher, you know...someone who can make a positive impact on the lives of young people."
There, he helped run and referee basketball and flag football leagues. And those skills he learned would prove beneficial in the present day. Washington formed a formal flag football league within the school, featuring four student-led teams that competed against each other on Thursday afternoons. Parents were even invited to spectate the games, which culminated in a championship match.
