What families say

“Because of you all, Xavier's confidence is improving, he is making friends, trying new things, and he's able to relay information to us about what happened during camp. He loves being with all of you and that is the best thing a parent/guardian can hope for when introducing something new into our routine. You all are inspiring and giving me life right now.” — Vanessa, 2nd grade parent, Oakland

“My son had a great time at the Sports Explorers camp! He was super excited to go to camp each day and told me he wants to do the camp again next summer! The coaches were professional and great with the kids.” — Kim, 4th grade parent, San Francisco

“ANTS coaches really know how to connect with kids and make sports fun and dynamic! I would recommend even for "non-sporty" kids - maybe especially for "non-sporty" kids since they have so much fun while learning tennis basics at the same time.” — Taylor, 3rd grade parent, Oakland
