We value leadership, high energy, patience, and passion for working with kids. We offer T-Ball, Basketball, Soccer, Flag Football, kickball and more! We are selective as it takes a certain passion to work with kids and run the best sessions for all of our families and schools in the region. Working with children brings with it a sense of security and professionalism so we are very selective with who we ask to join our coaching family and we require 3 clearances in order to work with our children and coaches along with having reliable transportation.
