“
I loved the way the AYR staff embraced and got to know our kids on an individual level. They were able to help the kids hold themselves accountable to the individual goals on their scorecard (discipline, sportsmanship, respect, teamwork, passing/catching, evasive running, defense and communication). The AYR staff was able to encourage and coach kids that needed more attention in the different areas.
