Hello Koa Families! After a bit of a blogging hiatus with summer vacations, the craziness of back to school. Find Your Inner Koa is back!!! Today’s blog entry is a response to an article the Washington Post published back in May entitled “Stealing home: How travel teams are eroding community baseball”. A few parents asked…
People ask me all the time, why did you start Koa? What idea inspired you to start Koa? The answer is: a little bit of pain is why I founded Koa. I feel like “a little bit of pain” is why most businesses come about. My pain was two summer seasons of competitive travel baseball…
There is nothing more beautiful to a sports fan than watching a kid dust off his cleats and lace up for the first time in the spring.

Happy New Year to everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed their break, spent time with their family, and enjoyed excellent food.
