Having rasied three active children and having been a part of many sports programs, we got to see what was right and what was wrong with today's youth sports. We used our knowledge and experience as participants, volunteers, coaches, and spectators to come up with a program that combines the best aspects of a good sports program:
Safety, Fun, Skills, and Age-Appropriate Competition...
We like to say it's "youth sports done right".
Coach John Sports - where youth sports have been deemed ESSENTIAL!
We, the Sferrazza's, are a family living in Lakeville, Massachusetts since 1999. We have three children, ages 23, 21 and 17.
We wanted to be able to provide our children and the children in our neighborhood with wholesome and healthy youth sports opportunites. Our children have been participants in my sports program for years, and now they are excited about getting to work with and assist some of the younger children in our program! We have been fortunate to collaborate with the Lakeville Church of the Nazarene and support the work of Pastor Stepehn Hunt there, as well as with Pastor Bruce Smith at the Central Congregational Church in Middleboro.
Please let us know if we are meeting our goal, or not. Your feedback is always welcome.
