SCHOOL PROGRAMS 2022

The NAofA has released our School Programs 2022 Edition Program to ensure schools know they have a solution to providing Physical Education Programs to their student bodies.

The National Academy of Athletics is on a mission to bring youth sports to kids throughout the nation. We 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 to boost confidence, optimism, enthusiasm, and personal growth.

Health Benefits of PE

We all know the health benefits of PE, being active, and participating in sports and athletics, but studies show that now more than ever, these are vital instrumental parts of offering Social & Emotional Learning (SEL). It is the most powerful (and unappreciated) ‘medicine’ for present and future health issues – For the body, mind, and spirit.

SEL Learning

Teaching SEL through physical education helps students navigate many of their challenges each day. It promotes academic achievement and positive social behavior while reducing conduct problems, substance abuse, and emotional distress.

Advantages to engaging an agency for physical education and activities in school

Partnering with a physical education agency provides an alternative to hiring traditional educators. The right partner can provide school districts with all the advantages of the employer, employee relationship without having to deal with the disadvantages.

  • A more extensive variety of programming
  • Lower costs
  • Easier to manage via contract
  • Access to sports specific trainers
  • Offers classroom teachers breaks
  • Provide continuity
  • Scheduling flexibility

Cost Savings

These programs are affordable and more cost-effective than hired credentialed Physical Education Teachers. Schools will see additional savings when NAofA Physical Activity Specialists manage the entire program and take on the role of traditional yard supervisors. The concept is to work with schools under tight budget constraints provide daily breaks for the teaching staff while keeping students engaged, healthy and active.

Why Schools are choosing to Partner With the National Academy of Athletics. 

The National Academy of Athletics Curriculum includes physical activity, coordination, strength, and balance while implementing instructional strategies that intentionally address SEL competencies. Our focus will be CONFIDENCE, OPTIMISM & GROWTH!

– Innovative Curriculum Using Trademarked Talk. Teach. Play.® Method

– Staff engagement, safety, ongoing advanced training

– Individual partnership with each school, principal, staff, and teachers

– Integrates Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into our programs

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.
