Why Play with TGA
From introductory programs at schools and community centers to recreational camps and leagues, each of our program offerings represents a step in our Player Pathway to help guide our parents and encourage our students to Keep Playing!®
We incorporate station-based athletic skill development activities, STEAM activities to explore educational concepts through sports, and key life lessons including teamwork, sportsmanship, perseverance, and leadership.
Our programs align with the American Development Model (ADM) created by the U.S. Olympic Committee to help individuals realize their athletic potential and utilize sport as a path toward an active and healthy lifestyle.
We use sports as a vehicle for teaching academic lessons. Students participate in STEAM activities that allow them to creatively explore and relate concepts such as history, math, gravity, aerodynamics, and simple machines through the sports they are playing.
Through sports, we help develop values that promote individual growth and teamwork. By teaching lessons in sportsmanship, perseverance, respect, positive mindset and leadership, our young athletes are encouraged to make good decisions on the field, course, court and in life.

TGA camps offer students of all ages and abilities an opportunity to further develop fundamentals, improve skills, and advance their game in a fun and non-competitive environment. Our sports camps help develop athletic ability, understanding and enjoyment of sports while building confidence, having fun and making friends.
Week-long, half day and full day camps provide parents with flexibility and support during holidays, spring break and the summer months.
