One of our main goals is to do our part in shaping and preparing young athletes for life after high school. There are many necessary life skills that are no longer mandatory to teach in schools and parents are not present enough to instill those lessons in their children. Throughout the course of our program, the junior coaches (high school athletes) will be taking mandatory seminar to obtain some of the important life skills. Here are a few examples of what they may learn throughout the duration of the program:

- Money Management

- Resume Building

- Mock Interviews

- Simple Mechanics

- Dealing with Peer Pressure

- NCAA Requirements

- Options for the Future

Junior Coach Program

IMG_4844 (1).jpg

For our Spring 2020 Program we will be adding a work-study / life-skills portion to our program for Norfolk high school students.

Our high school participants will be mentored throughout the season by a head coach. Our head coaches will be quality role-models that will teach them how to plan practices, be a mentor for younger kids, think on their own and so much more. Our high schoolers will also go through two life-skills sessions a week where we will bring professionals in to talk about various topics (money management, resume writing, mock interviews, how to change a tire and various paths to take after high school).

Please click the following links for the junior coach application. If you're a school professional, or a coach, below is a form to nominate a student for the program:
