What Families Are Saying

My son has had such a great experience going to A4H. He's learned so many skills like passing, dribbling, defense and more. The coaches at A4H are amazing with the kids, and you can tell they have a passion for what they do.

My kids did the basketball after school camp this summer and honestly the staff at the camp were amazing. Half the time my kids never wanted to leave or complained when I picked them up early.

My son had an amazing time at this camp over the summer. He met friends, played sports and came home with crafts and drawings that he did. He was always excited to tell me about his day. We can’t wait to sign him up next summer!!

My son has attended the summer camp multiple times. This year he was in the elite camp. There ware many coaches/staff that were positive, engaging with the kids and parents. The camp gave solid basketball drills and had the kids work on their skills with competitive games each day.

My child has not played many sports before, is A4H the right fit?

Our camps and leagues were founded on the principles of providing high quality instruction in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere for a wide range of skill levels. Participants are separated into groups based on age and skill level. Our coaches are trained to adapt their teaching styles based on the age and skill level of their players along with altering activities to suit the needs of the group.
