“Sports have the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sports can create hope, where there was once only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination.”   Nelson Mandela  

MISSION

The mission of the Champions Sports Academy is to create a youth sports culture that prioritizes the health and well being of young athletes-enhancing their enjoyment, participation, and development in sports. Playing multiple sports helps kids make new friends and develop new skills.  The Champions Sports Academy encourages sports sampling which provides a young athlete the chance to find a sport that may ultimately fit him or her best. There are several demonstrated benefits of sports sampling:

1) Prolonged engagement in sports
2) More enjoyable and positive early sports experiences
3) Healthy physical, psychological, and social development
4) Transfer of skills acquired from multiple sports to primary sport if specialization occurs

  PHILOSOPHY

Our philosophy is to address the student-athlete as a whole person, not just as a student or athlete. During the elementary, middle school and high school years, every student-athlete is confronted with a variety of developmental challenges. Our program provides a well-rounded, multi-perspective program for all student-athletes to develop the skills necessary to lead successful, productive lives, and become leaders of, and contributors to life.

PURPOSE

The purpose of the Champions Sports Academy is to offer girls and boys the opportunity to enhance their physical health, leadership qualities, skill development and self-confidence in a structured and safe environment.   
To date, youth sports lack guidelines around health and wellness and consistent game play standards. To help foster player health, age- and stage-appropriate skill development, and a positive and enjoyable experience for young people, the Champions Sports Academy has developed a set of guidelines to enhance the playing experience for young athletes.
These guidelines aim to combat the overemphasis on early competitive success and the lack of a clear development pathway through sports – two issues that exist across youth sports.
The Champions Sports Academy is committed to helping shape a youth sports culture that prioritizes the health and well-being of young athletes and promotes their enjoyment and development in sports.
