THE SPORTS BY THE SEA DIFFERENCE

Sports by the Sea brings a unique safe and fun sports experience that will encompass all aspects of being a better athlete. Unlike other assembly line programs whom speak drills and roll out balls for hundreds of athletes to play aimlessly, Sports by the Sea will teach the academics of sports,offensive and defensive strategy, form and technique, and provide overall athletic IQ enrichment and personal fitness development, all while having fun while learning the game, playing games and scrimmaging.

Sports by the Sea programs are for beginners, intermediate, and slightly advanced athletes aspiring to be better players. These camps are not geared toward making nor finding the next Michael Jordan or Pele. The objective of Sports by the Sea is to expose athletes to fundamental knowledge of their sport, provide cross training activities to aspiring well rounded children, and to provide an overall higher level youth sports experience.
