Youth Basketball is one of the most popular sports around right now. Our basketball program is designed to instruct youth in the fundamentals of the sport, coupled with educational and life skills training.

The competitive level of flag football has increased and the National Football League (NFL) has endorsed these efforts and fully supported leagues around the country.

Offering flag football leagues throughout the County will also provide youth with competitive, exciting opportunities to showcase their skills and talents.

Martial arts training provides tools that enable kids to learn and apply skills that help them realize not only what they are capable of, but also gives them a sense of pride from knowing what they have accomplished. Self-defense is empowered from knowing there are skills to draw upon if attacked.

In addition to learning self-defense, practicing the martial arts takes the student down a path toward mental improvement. We grow confidence, attain mental strength, and develop courage, tenacity, humility, compassion and kindness. The student enhances their character, developing honor, discipline, integrity, a work ethic, and respect.
