Our mission is to create and promote the development of young athletes as future leaders through the intertwining of sports and education.  Our belief is that sports allow youth athletes to develop not only their physical skills, but interpersonal skills that will translate into every day interactions.

A lot of people say they want to be great, but they’re not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve greatness.
— Kobe Bryant
I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26, times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. ant that is why I succeed.
— Michael Jordan
