Clinical studies show that sports and recreation programs can help youth establish lifelong, healthy, physical activity patterns. Regular physical activity can ward off life-threatening diseases; reduce feelings of depression and anxiety; help control weight and obesity; and build and maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints, according to the President’s Council on Physical Fitness.
We have a strong passion for youth sports, and believe athletic and recreational activities are important to their physical and mental development.
Our coaches go through a vetting process to ensure they are able to teach the game, enforcing fair play, abiding by the rules while promoting good sportsmanship and showing good judgment.
Coaches are expected to focus on skill building putting our players in position for success on and off the field.
All coaches are concussion certified through the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).
