TESTIMONIALS
My son is in his second year of doing camps with the National Academy of Athletics! First off, the coaches are AMAZING! He hardly can sleep on camp nights because he is so excited to go the next day! It’s a perfect mix of education on a sport and FUN! He loves doing the longer days one although he is young he finds it that much fun to stay the full day! He loves showing me the new skills he learned and telling me about all the friends he makes! HIGHLY recommend! Memories for a lifetime he gains at every camp!
I had such a privilege of working with the National Academy of Athletics as my sports contractor. They really provide the best level of service to your community. They are responsive, reliable, and truly deliver quality services. I will highly recommend their services to any local agency across the Bay Area.
This organization is fantastic! The National Academy of Athletics teaches its campers to be their best self. Their caring and well-trained staff are wonderful in teaching skills and in developing a love of the game, no matter what level the player is at. As a coach for many years of youth sports, I can say that the National Academy of Athletics is an excellent choice for youth who want to learn, develop and enjoy athletics. Top-notch!
The NAofA ran the PTA P.E. Program at my kid’s school. The NAofA was well organized, provided great instruction, was a lot of fun, and was designed for all grade levels. The students really loved the instructors and looked forward to their P.E. class. Let’s continue to keep kids active in schools. I highly recommend them as a parent and former PTA president.
My son went to the Air Attack Flag Football camp and absolutely loved it! The coach was inclusive, knowledgeable, and fun! My son came home every day telling me about the new football drills and skills he learned. A very worthwhile camp and love that he was active every day. Will be signing up for more camps this summer!!
