I've had the pleasure of working with Aaron Locks and his team for years. It's rare in business when you find a partner whose commitment towards providing quality programs for kids align with your own. His "Have Fun While Learning The Fundamentals" approach helps kids build confidence … More on and off the field. The ActivityHero team and I are excited to continue to bring youth sports and the expert knowledge of National Academy Of Athletics to families and communities across the US.

My six year old loved his class, which sampled lots of different sports—dodge ball, t-ball, soccer, etc. We had tried other sports programs, but he really took to this. Highly recommend their positive, fun approach. Will definitely sign him up again.

My little guy (4.5yo), just finished 1/2 day sports camp over Spring Break. After a somewhat unsuccessful soccer season in the fall through our local rec center, and other attempts to expose him to sports, he just hasn't really had an interest. He was very reluctant Monday morning to attend camp, … More but I encouraged him to just have fun and try. After the first day, I asked what his favorite thing was and he replied, "ALL OF IT!" This has been the same feedback everyday. The coaches have definitely made the experience fun. We are very happy that our son has had such a positive attitude and hope he will be willing to try other more organized sports going forward. We will be back for summer sessions.
Also worth mentioning, I was happy to see that there was a good mix of boys and girls at the camp.

I cannot say enough positive things about the incredible experience my son had at the National Academy of Athletics, flag football camp. From the moment he stepped onto the field, he was filled with excitement and enthusiasm, and that feeling carried throughout the entire program.
First and foremost, … More the coaches at the National Academy of Athletics deserve tremendous praise. They are exceptional individuals who are not only highly skilled in football but also possess an innate ability to connect with and inspire children. They create a supportive and encouraging environment that fosters personal growth and confidence in every participant. The coaches' dedication to the kids is evident in their interactions, as they go above and beyond to ensure each child feels valued and included.
My son returned home exhausted every day, but with a smile that stretched from ear to ear. The camp's perfect balance of physical activity and fun-filled games kept him engaged and excited to attend every session. Moreover, the National Academy of Athletics summer program is a fantastic opportunity for children to enhance their football skills while having an absolute blast. The camp offers a well-rounded experience that goes beyond the technical aspects of the game. It teaches important values such as teamwork, sportsmanship, and perseverance, which are integral to both sports and life in general.
I wholeheartedly recommend the National Academy of Athletics flag football camp to any parent searching for a summer program that combines skill-building and fun. It's an excellent investment in your child's growth and a guaranteed source of unforgettable memories. Kudos to the entire National Academy of Athletics team for their outstanding work in creating such an exceptional program!

Aaron Lock brings a wealth of experience with him so when he talks, it is wise to listen. He willingly gives his time to give back to the game and help officials along in their own journey. He has forgotten more basketball knowledge than most people could ever acquire and I greatly appreciate the feedback … More he gives.
