Champion Athletes offers programs that focus on strength, balance, conditioning, social skills, and vocational skills—helping athletes succeed not just in sports, but as individuals. Our programs foster a sense of accomplishment by encouraging participants to take risks in a positive, supportive atmosphere.

The experiences gained through Champion Athletes help each athlete progress toward greater independence and everyday living. In daily life, all of us must adapt to change, interruptions, and unexpected challenges. Champion Athletes teaches each athlete to be flexible and cope with the stress that change can bring. Athletes learn to work with different authority figures, build on one another's successes, and demonstrate good sportsmanship. Our individuals benefit greatly from these programs across many areas of their lives—physically, socially, at home, at school, and at work.

To participate in a Champion Athletes program, athletes must be registered and have a current physical and athlete release on file with our office. Forms can be found below. Equipment is provided at all programs. Athletes should wear tennis shoes and sport-appropriate clothing.
