Atlanta Youth Academies' Athletics Program is now in its sixth year.
AYA offers a variety of sports for the Fall, Winter and Spring seasons. In the Fall
students have an opportunity to participate in Cross-Country/Walking Club, Flag
Football, and Soccer. During the Winter students may participate in Boys Basketball
and Girls Basketball. Spring sports consist of Soccer and Track. It is AYA’s desire
to instill Christian values through participation in team oriented athletics programs.
Sports build character, self-esteem, respect for oneself and others, pride in accomplishments,
leadership skills, and a sense of team work, all of which are core values for Atlanta
Youth Academies.
Atlanta Youth Academies' Athletics Program is structured to develop the team skills
of a student-athlete, therefore enhancing his/her experience. Providing the students
with an enjoyable and positive experience and teaching the necessary skills are
the most important aspects of the program. Rules interpretation, team strategy and
tactics are taught on a consistent basis both on the practice field and in physical
education classes.
Goals include:
-
developing a good work ethic, school/team spirit and positive self-esteem

developing discipline and commitment
-
focusing on cooperation, dedication and good sportsmanship
