SANTA BARBARA'S PREMIER SUMMER SPORTS CAMP

ETHOS

While we love the game and everything sports has to offer, seeing the joy on a child's face when they get "it" is why we coach. Our camp is for the kids, just made by kids who grew bigger and still want to be a part of the games we played decades ago! Our mission is to give every child the opportunity to develop proper athletic fundamentals through safe, positive, and efficient coaching techniques while allowing them to try new sports or take their current game to the Next Level.

Children are the lifeblood of our community and we understand the role that sports play in their development. Sports develop teamwork, passions, perseverance, confidence, friendships and so much more. As coaches, we look at ourselves as an extension of the education that children receive from their parents, schools, and experiences and open our camp to every child that loves sports as much as we do.

In 2019, we donated over $25,000 back to our local community in camp scholarships and donations to help fund local schools, after-school programs, and aid families in need. We want to take our community and our children's summers to the Next Level!
