Area Captain, John Cao

“I am thrilled to bring my passion and love for youth sports to the communities near me. At the NAofA we “Play Hard and Have Fun!” Our motto shows the importance of youth having fun while learning the fundamentals of the sport. Choosing to become a partner at the National Academy of Athletics has allowed me to elevate and expand the youth sports programs I have here in the Houston, Texas area.  Now, I can make a larger impact on the community by introducing children to playing all sorts of sports. It’s important to give children choices so that they can learn different sports, and find one or two they love, so they may continue to have an active and healthy lifestyle as they get older.”

Currently, the NAofA is running youth sports programs in the cities of Houston, Katy, and Jersey Village. A wide variety of programs are offered such as holiday and summer break sports camps, Physical Education in schools, and youth league management. And with so many sports options to choose from, including youth soccer camps, youth basketball camps, football camps, pickleball clinics, softball leagues, and more- your child is sure to find something they will love.

The National Academy of Athletics’ mission is to provide youth sports camps and physical education programs for children throughout the nation. The NAofA use sports to promote positive mental and physical development in our youth. Our goal is to diminish childhood obesity by advocating for healthy lifestyles while providing tools like SEL, (Social Emotional Learning) to boost confidence, optimism, enthusiasm, and personal growth.

Through inspiration, motivation, and perspiration, we believe sports bring out a positive change in every participant!

With a proven track record of providing safe, fun, and educational youth sports camps and programs, they have become a preferred partner to City Recreation Centers, Schools, and Youth Sports Leagues.

The NAofA encourages its campers to play with confidence, enthusiasm, and a true love for the game. Their highly trained team of NAofA Certified coaches and instructors focus on important skill development taught in a fun and positive environment that encourages kids to keep pursuing sports.

NA of A is filled with great mentors, and coaches. It truly makes me feel positive knowing the culture here has an impact on our players enhancing their skillset, mindset and overall health. Na of A especially makes it easier for me as a coach for when I am provided with all the proper equipment and gear to ensure the children/players have everything they need in order to play hard and have fun!

Aaron and his team are absolutely top notch and have a genuine passion for teaching kids’ valuable life skills through sports and play. They’ve developed a program that fills the gap in many communities for youth sports that isn’t focused on hardcore competition and crazy travel schedules. You’re awesome. Great job NAofA!

Starting our journey as a new franchisee with the National Academy of Athletics has been an absolutely phenomenal experience, and it’s all thanks to the incredible support from Aaron Lock and his dedicated team! From the initial onboarding to ongoing guidance, they have been nothing short of exceptional.
Aaron’s leadership and the team’s expertise have made the process seamless and truly empowering. They’ve provided comprehensive training, answered every question with patience and clarity, and made me feel like a valued part of the NAofA family from day one. Their commitment to franchisee success is evident in every interaction. I feel fully equipped and incredibly excited to grow our NAofA business, knowing I have such a strong and supportive network behind me. Five stars aren’t enough!

NAofA organized a Pickleball Camp in San Anselmo summer of 2025. My son and his friend attended and had a terrible experience. Due to this and the icky response from the owner of the camp, I highly recommend avoiding it.
First, while we
 were told to arrive at 8:45, on the first day but the instructor arrived at 9. I called to inform the office and the owner (Ben) about the missing instructor, he told me that he would call her to find out what was the matter (she showed up not only after to let us all into the court). When I wrote to him and mentioned the lateness as part of the reason we would not be returning, he surprised me by retorting that he had “proof” she wasn’t late- until I reminded him about my phone call to him.
They have a “password” system to protect the kids, but the instructor hands you the pickup form when you arrive (which has the code written on it) so it’s pointless. Furthermore, When I arrived to pick up my kid, the instructor was rushing off to try and get a couple of the kids who had left the court entirely on their own.
My son and his friend were bullied by another kid throughout the day. Despite the “anti bully” policy, the kid was invited back the next day.
The kids told me that no instruction was provided at all about pickleball. They were given balls and rackets and there were no other activities or involvement to keep them engaged. When they asked to take a break because they were hot, the woman told them they had to keep playing. When I informed the owner about this behavior, he retorted that it was their policy and that many kids were “struggling to participate” that day which is why she refused the breaks.
This doesn’t seem like a camp that’s all that motivated to keep kids engaged or having fun, and the defensive/gaslighting responses of the director suggests that it’s not run in a way that promotes safety or fun, or holds its own instructors accountable.
It’s don’t recommend the Pickleball Camp at all, and wouldn’t trust their other programs.
