TESTIMONIALS
“Working with National Academy of Athletics has been a total collaboration from the start. They have been easy to work with, professional and simply want to provide the best recreational sports experience for children possible. This partnership has helped the City of Rocklin double the recreational sports programs that it can offer to its residents and their families.”
“I wanted to convey to you what an improvement PE is for my kids. Izzy has been showing me what she is learning at PE and I am VERY impressed that she now knows how to do squats, sit ups, plank, and so much more. Both my kids are really enjoying the activities they are doing as well as the teachers. They really respect Coach Ben and Coach Quest and seem to have a better appreciation for PE in general. I am a strong believer in physical education – teaching kids the importance of moving their bodies and how to use them. So glad this is being taught to our kids!”
“This is our third year using the National Academy of Athletics Fitness Through Fundamentals. Their administration is very responsive, their instructors are prompt and enthusiastic and our students love the program.”

Our goal is to provide a safe, timely & easy check-in/check-out process for everyone – and we need your help! When arriving, please walk up to the check-in staff, wearing our “red” coach shirt, and be prepared to answer a short series of screening questions. Staff confirms the parent’s mobile phone number to be reached in case of emergency.
Each camper must be checked out by an adult designated on the camper’s registration form unless prior arrangements have been approved by the Camp Director. Campers are not allowed to check themselves out. Check-out time varies for each camp, so please refer to the camper confirmation email or call the Corporate Office at 866.90.SPORT for the specific camp check-out time.
Our staff of energetic coaches is placed in each camp with a maximum camper-to-coach ratio of 10-1 for ages 4 – 6 and 12 – 1 for ages 7 – 13
Our staff members are typically college and graduate students. Some of our coaching staff are high school students and are considered aids to the directing coach at camp.
Each applicant goes through an interview and, if qualified, is fingerprinted and their background checked.
