Youth Clinics
As children grow through the formative years into early adulthood, positive experiences and influences are crucial in their pathway to success. Shoot for the Stars gives youth the tools to develop mentally, physically, and socially. The advantages of youth involvement in sports include increased confidence and academic performance, better physical health, and emotional control.
Overall participation in youth sports has declined over the last 20 years, which is primarily attributed to socio-economic status. Low-income families are often hindered from programming because of the lack of resources and the large financial commitment typically required. In an effort to support inner city youth with financial barriers, Shoot for the Stars provides various sports clinics that allow children to learn basic skills and build relationships.
Shoot for the Stars encourages mental, physical, and social growth in our youth participants. With numerous opportunities to play and learn through sport, our participants develop positive relationships with their coaches and make new friends while cultivating their interpersonal skills. Through positive coaching, Shoot for the Stars encourages problem solving, responsibility, discipline, and team building in organized sports play and enrichment programs.
