How to Help Young Athletes Deal With Failure:

~ Change their mindset towards failure: don’t fear it, learn from it!

~ Don’t allow them to create a false narrative in their mind.

~ Turn negatives into a positive.

~ Encourage them to be compassionate towards themselves.

“Failure is a part of life and the sporting journey”
“Failure allows children to learn, build resilience, determination, and grit”

High School Indoor League: This will be Koa’s 4th annual High School Indoor League! Athletes can join with a group of teammates from their HS Team, or they can join as a Free Agent and be put onto one of Koa’s house teams with other free agents. The Indoor League will be traditional indoor rules, which is a great way to improve your skills in the off-season. This is also a great way for a HS Team to bond during the off-season, and improve both mentally and physically during the Winter months! Click Here for more Information!

Winter Rec League: This program is for both experienced and inexperienced players. During the Winter Rec League, players will be placed on teams, and will have both a practice and a game each Saturday. Each team will play for 1.5 hours each Saturday. They will have a 45min practice session first, and then immediately play in a game versus another team in the second 45min session. Each game will be two 20min halves with a 5min halftime.
