Introducing: The Team Captain Program

Are you a parent who believes in the power of youth sports and the positive impact it can have on children’s lives? Do you want to play an active role in promoting physical activity and teamwork in your school? If so, we have exciting news for you! The National Academy of Athletics is thrilled to announce its groundbreaking “Team Captain” program, a unique initiative that allows parents to team up with NAofA to expand youth sports opportunities in their schools.

Empowering Parents for Youth Sports Expansion

At the National Academy of Athletics, we are passionate about creating a world where every child has access to high-quality sports programs. We understand the importance of physical activity, camaraderie, and life skills that children gain through sports participation. To achieve this vision, we believe it’s crucial to involve parents in the process. The “Team Captain” program is designed to tap into the collective power of parents, working together with the NAofA to make a lasting impact on children’s lives.

How It Works – Your Commitment

Participating in the “Team Captain” program is simple and rewarding. All you need to do is refer us to your school’s partnership coordinator, which could be your school’s Principal, PTA President, or After-School Program Coordinator. They will be the liaison between the school and the National Academy of Athletics.

Your primary role as a Team Captain is to help coordinate a formal meeting between NAofA and your school’s partnership coordinator. During this meeting, we will discuss the various programs and opportunities that NAofA can bring to your school and community. Your involvement will ensure that your school gets all the information needed to make an informed decision about joining our “Get Active” program. “Get Active” is a program created to build a network of like-minded schools that are committed to our mission of helping kids live active and healthy lifestyles.

Your Benefit – Earn Free Summer Camps!

As a token of our appreciation for your support and commitment, we have exciting rewards for Team Captains. When your school joins our “Get Active” program, you will receive one free summer camp for your child. This is our way of saying thank you for making a difference in the lives of children in your community.

But wait, there’s more! If your school not only joins the “Get Active” program but also agrees to bring one of our programs to the school, you will receive a camp voucher that entitles you to four free summer camps! That’s an entire summer filled with fun and enriching experiences for your child, all while making a positive impact on the lives of many others.

The “Team Captain” program is not just about promoting sports; it’s about fostering a sense of community, teamwork, and wellness. By becoming a Team Captain, you are taking a proactive step to ensure that children in your school and neighborhood have access to valuable sports programs that promote health, fitness, and valuable life skills.

NAofA Director of Operations, Mike Stone, said, “In my 8 years of playing in the NFL I have witnessed the strength that can be harnessed by aligning individuals around a singular and mutually beneficial goal. With the Team Captain program our goal is to leverage the value of teamwork by aligning parents with our effort to promote healthy and active lifestyles in schools. The Team Captain Program incentivizes parents for assisting us in bringing our programs to their schools. In the NFL, the ultimate goal is to with the championship, through the Team Captain program the goal is to inspire more kids to “Get Active” and develop a love for athletic play.”

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.
