Why We Are Here

There is a growing danger in US youth sports today.

Young athletes are being taught to focus on short-term winning results rather than on the skill development; skill development that helps set the foundation for long-term involvement and success in their sport of choice.  This misguided focus on results - results due in part to factors ultimately out of a young athlete's control - sets athletes up for failure, decreases their interest and passion, and drives them away from organized sport, robbing them of the benefits of athletic participation.

The toxic environment that an adult-driven, win-at-all-costs mentality brings to a youth sports contest doesn't help matters for young athletes.  The fear of making mistakes due to adult pressures to perform impedes individual freedom and creativity, hinders what we call True Skill Development, and makes the GAME no longer fun for the PLAYers. 

We're here to change the culture.

Our goals are to help players, coaches, and parents redefine what it means to be successful in youth sports competition; empower young athletes by allowing them to have full control over this redefined success; and assist coaches by providing tools and ideas designed to maximize player development potential, interest, and enjoyment. 

In the end, it's all about the smiles.
