Youth Sports

Skyhawks

The classic summer Skyhawks sports camp program will make sports a positive experience for your child. Our philosophy is to provide all children with the opportunity to develop sports skills in a fun and noncompetitive atmosphere. Your young athlete will learn the fundamentals of their sport in a curriculum designed for maximum participation and individual skill development. Our coaches have demonstrated the ability to communicate with young children on an eye-to-eye level. Everyone gets a sports related ball and a Skyhawks T-shirt.

Half-day and full-day sport specific camps for kids ages 6 14. The popular half-day "Mini-Hawk" program for ages 4-7 will let your young child sample a variety of sports without the pressure to choose one over the other.

Young soccer enthusiasts will be developed through fun and age appropriate games. The experienced coaching staff is sure to make every player a winner.
