CARD Youth Sports Philosophy

All of our youth sports leagues and programs are driven by a clear set of core values. We are committed to providing a high-quality youth sports experience for our staff, volunteers, participants, parents, coaches and spectators. 

We focus on creating better athletes, but more importantly, better people. 

We work on creating a learning environment that allows athletes to make mistakes, learn and grow. Ultimately, youth sports and our programs should help create future ethical leaders and positive contributors to our communities.

We teach the fundamentals of sports, with progression within each season. 

We provide structured, progressive lesson planning and coach training for every grade level in our program so that each child’s experience is valuable and consistent. We are committed to providing all kids with a strong, fundamental set of skills and strategies that will prepare them with the ability and confidence to pursue a sport competitively, or recreational, as they choose! We work on creating a learning environment that allows athletes to make mistakes, learn and grow. 

We make sure all players know they are safe, they are supported and they are connected- regardless of their differences.

Regardless of a child’s background or level of skill, there is a place for them here! We seek to remove barriers to participation, including talent barriers, financial barriers and/or social barriers. Everyone in our programs is appreciated for the unique traits and talents they bring to their team, and to our leagues. From our most skilled athletes, down to our beginners who are experiencing the game for the first time, we believe that our diversity makes us ALL better by providing opportunities to develop our skills as well as our leadership, compassion, and tolerance.

Every participant walks away from our program with a LOVE of the game.

We want the sports experience to be so positive and encouraging, that every child will want to stay engaged in the sport/activity for life, regardless of whether they pursue it competitively or not. We reject the idea that sports are only worth playing if they can be played at a high level… we strive to develop physically literate kids who are compelled to play in their free time, and who are equipped to succeed at the competitive level if they choose, and who are inspired to teach and coach the next generation when their opportunity arrives.
