About Us

Coach Ryan

Our mission is to inspire children to grow in Christlike character through active play, friendly competition, and a joyful, family centered environment rooted in faith.

Coach Ryan has always had a passion for sports, recreation, and helping children develop a lifelong love of being active. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Sports and Recreation Management in 2018.

After recognizing a need for physical education opportunities for homeschool families and beyond, in the community, he felt called to create fun, engaging, and Christ-centered classes for his own children and others. What began as a small dream has grown into a place where children can build confidence, develop athletic skills, practice teamwork, friendly competition and form meaningful friendships through movement and play.

From the very beginning, the Lord has faithfully guided and blessed this journey, opening doors to serve families throughout the local community. Coach Ryan's desire is that every child leaves class feeling encouraged, challenged, and excited to stay active while growing in character, confidence, and a love for healthy living.

Coach Jared

Devoted husband, father and grateful son who values faith, family, freedom, country and community above all else.

For the past 17 years Arizona has been my home, providing the backdrop for both my personal and professional journey. I am a proud first generation graduate from Grand Canyon University as well as also earning an associates degree in Diesel Mechanics with a specialization in Power Generation from Universal Technical Institute. I hold a tenured background in sales, health and human services, mechanics and as a photography/media professional.

My life's greatest passions has been none other than fatherhood. Fatherhood has opened the door to several lifetime opportunities from being Director of Children's Ministry for Discovery Pointe Church to being a tenured baseball coach for City of Surprise for the past 8 years.

I am committed to helping young athletes develop not only their athletics skills, but help them find their confidence and capabilities through a structured program that delivers improvements in self discipline, teamwork, and christ-like character qualities.

Watching student athletes grow and succeed is one of the most rewarding and truest passions I hold.

Our Statement of Faith

We believe that there is one living true God existing in the Trinity as Father, Son and Holy Spirt. That God is the creator of all, the Heavens and the Earth, that God created man in his image, male and female. Jesus is the Son of God who was born of a virgin, is eternal and lived a sinless life as fully human and fully God. He was then crucified on the cross for our sins, died, buried and rose again on the third day and is seated at the right hand of the Father and will return again for his people. In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins through God's grace. The Holy Spirit lives within every Christian from the moment of Salvation providing insight for spiritual truth and guidance. We believe the Bible is the living Word of God. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. the Bible is the ultimate truth for Christian beliefs and living because it is inspired by God, it is full truth without error.
