In Partnership with Local, & Educational Institutions

We offer sports training in flexible formats to meet the needs of each community, ensuring everyone has equitable access—whether through consistent after-school programs with weekly practices and game days, or seasonal clinics that build skills and spark interest.


After-school Practices

Our after-school programs serve more than 3,000 students in Downey, El Monte, Whittier, Compton, and nearby communities, offering free or low-cost opportunities right in their neighborhoods. By partnering with local schools and holding practices directly on campus after the school day ends, we remove barriers like transportation—making it easier for kids to stay active, receive support, and build meaningful connections in a safe, familiar environment.

Game Days

Game days and tournaments are when everything comes together: players get to compete, celebrate their progress, and represent their teams. These events bring out families, friends, and the local community to cheer, connect, and enjoy the energy of youth sports in action.
