ABOUT

Competition Team

We also provide a competition team which aims to not only grow in practice, but also perform on the local and national stage.  By doing this, we feel athletes are provided with the opportunities to learn how to celebrate accomplishments, and more importantly learn how to get better when they don't meet their own expectations.  Pursuit of this goal is a foundation in which young adults can draw from as they face life challenges.  Drawing from experience of being on stage, at times with stage lighting, TV cameras, and hundreds in the audience but yet performing at their peak performance, these youth can take on any public forum with confidence of how to perform at a high level under stress.
