We Are 5A!

Leveraging the Power of Sport and Play

Within the culture of sport lives powerful tools for personal and social development. We leverage their potential to:

​

• Reverse The Impact of Trauma:  We understand and recognize trauma’s effects and we incorporate this awareness into our policies, procedures, and programs. This approach fosters safe and supportive environments where student-athletes can connect, heal, and grow through sport. 

​

• Optimize Student Support Ecosystems: We organize the natural support systems that children currently have in close proximity through their participation in school and community sports. We then transform those into collaborative networks that are trained and equipped with strategies and resources.

 

• Forge College and Career Pathways:  According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in sports occupations is projected to grow by 10% through 2026, outpacing the average rate for all jobs. This increase is driven by the growing popularity of sports, which boosts demand for related positions. We prepare students to enter this expanding field and position them for success in securing these roles.
