Our Sports Program
Our program isn't to teach the fundamentals of a specific sport. We use sports to provide a fun and interactive environment to provide kids with a stress-free outlet where the only competition is with who they were yesterday. Our focus is on developing their inner skills, such as confidence, resilience, emotional intelligence, leadership, and teamwork.
"Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand." -Nelson Mandela

Every Practice Includes:
Every practice follows a routine to provide structure and build healthy habits players can apply on and off the field.
Warm Up: Deep Breaths
Each practice begins with a warm-up using deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth. This practice helps kids learn the benefits of controlled breathing to calm their minds, center their focus, and prepare for the next moment. By incorporating this mindful technique, we teach young athletes how to manage stress, stay present, and build a habit they can use in sports and life.
Sports
Each season uses a different sport. In the fall we use soccer, winter is basketball and spring is flag football or baseball. Regardless of the sport, practices provide an outlet for kids to come play for fun without worrying about performance.
Sportsmanship
Every practice is an opportunity to teach and reinforce sportsmanship—both on and off the field. Through sports-based activities and reflective exercises, kids learn the value of respect, integrity, and a positive mindset. Whether it’s celebrating a teammate’s effort, handling setbacks with resilience, or practicing gratitude, we help players understand that true success isn’t just about skill—it’s about how you treat others and carry yourself in every situation.
Emotional Intelligence
We integrate emotional intelligence into every practice, helping kids develop self-awareness, empathy, and emotional control. Through sports activities and guided reflections, players learn how to manage frustration, communicate effectively, and understand their emotions in a healthy way.
Ends With Gratitude
We close every practice with a moment of gratitude, reinforcing the highest form of positive energy. Whether it’s appreciation for their teammates, the opportunity to play, or something in their daily lives, this practice helps kids shift their mindset, reflect on the good, and build a habit of gratitude.
Sports FAQ
Why Do You Use Sports in your program?
Sports offer a fun, familiar, and interactive environment to develop character and life skills. Incorporating sports into our program allows us to connect with kids in a relatable way, utilize an informal setting, and communicate in a language they understand.
What sports do you offer?
Our program uses multiple sports for different reasons. Playing multiple sports exposes children to different movements, builds mental resiliency, and shows them that they are capable of gaining skills that may have seemed out of reach at first.
Using various youth sports provides an opportunity to develop different skills through different experiences.
Do You Play Multiple Sports in one season?
As of right now, we focus on one sport per season. For example, we use soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and flag football or baseball in the spring. We structure each sport to coincide with high school athletes’ off-season to allow more flexibility in the coach’s schedule.
Do players learn the skill of the sport?
Our coaches are high school athletes who play the sport offered during the season. Players will learn the techniques and proper form of the sport, but coaches don’t solely focus on mastering the sport’s skill. The focus is to develop the mental aspect of sports.
Who is your program for?
Anyone in grades K-12! It doesn’t matter if your child plays travel, rec, or no sports at all—our youth sports program is designed for everyone. Competitive players will benefit from building mental resilience, sportsmanship, and teamwork, which will help them become better athletes.
Our program offers kids a chance to stay physically active and build mental skills in a fun, non-competitive environment, providing a perfect opportunity for kids who quit or never played sports.
Why are there no weekend games?
Most think that character automatically transfers to non-sport activities, but these connections require practice, reflection, and discussion of how they apply outside sports. Trying to use practice times to teach both the skill of the sport and build life skills beyond the field would require hours of practice.
With the decline in youth mental health and dangers unknown to earlier generations, having a separate program is critical. To give teams something to work towards, weekend games are replaced with a community service project at the end of each season.
We may collaborate with other youth sports organizations to play for a cause or raise funds for the season’s community service project in the future.
