Our youth athletic and academic programs
Sheldon’s Sport Academy
Dear Community Partner,
My name is Sindy Brooks, and I am the founder of Sheldon’s Sport Academy (SSA). We are reaching out to local businesses, organizations, and community partners who believe in the power of sports, education, mentorship, and positive opportunities for children.
Sheldon’s Sport Academy is a youth sports program serving boys and girls ages 6–14. Our goal is to create a safe, positive, and encouraging environment where children can develop their athletic abilities while also becoming stronger students, responsible leaders, and confident young people.
Youth sports instruction
Hands-on skill development in basketball, soccer, and baseball Our experienced coaches focus on fundamental techniques, teamwork, and sportsmanship for all age levels.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to develop young athletes while building character, confidence, discipline, teamwork, leadership, and a strong commitment to education.
At SSA, we believe that sports are more than competition. Sports teach children how to work together, overcome challenges, respect others, handle both success and disappointment, and continue working toward their goals.
We want every child who participates in Sheldon’s Sport Academy to leave our program with more than athletic skills. We want them to leave with confidence, positive values, friendships, leadership skills, and a belief that they can accomplish great things.
Academic support and mentoring
SPORTS + EDUCATION = A STRONGER FUTURE
Academics are an important part of our vision.
We believe that being a student comes before being an athlete. We want our young athletes to understand that their education is the foundation for their future.
Through encouragement, mentorship, academic accountability, educational activities, and conversations about school and future goals, we will encourage our athletes to take pride in their schoolwork and understand the connection between discipline in the classroom and discipline on the field or court.
Our message to our athletes is simple:
Work hard in school. Work hard in sports. Respect yourself and others. Never stop learning. Never stop believing in yourself.
