Our Mission
California Premier Sports:
At California Premier Sports, our mission is to foster the growth and development of youth sports. We are committed to nurturing the next generation of sports coaches, managers, and entrepreneurs by providing them with the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. California Premier Sports is a 501c3 California Public Charity for the promotion of youth athletics.
Skyhawks Sports Contra Costa:
It is hard for kids to live an active and healthy lifestyle without a love for sports/athletics. Too many kids drop out, or get left behind, because there is a problem with the status quo of youth sports instruction. Kids are unfairly ranked and categorized by skill and placed into a program that caters to that skill level. Coaches with unrealistic recollections of their own childhood play the role of evaluator and critic rather than educator and mentor. Coaches fall back on excuses of why the child is not performing rather than looking inward at their own performance.
Skyhawks Contra Costa challenges the status quo of youth sports instruction. We are the champion for the common child, proving that kids can increase their rank through age-appropriate curriculum and proper coaching. When you start with Confidence and Passion, the Skills will follow.
Our mission is to ensure that every child who passes through our program leaves with the confidence, passion, and skills to live an active and healthy style.
