We LOVE the National Academy of Athletics! We started using the programs with my first child, and last week my third child completed his first program (soccer!) He came home each day energized, happy and excited to return the next day. Next week we are registered for football (child #2)! We regularly use NAA programs not only during summer, but also during long weekends, and holiday workshops as well. 5 stars for sure!

Bentley had a great time. He made lots of friends. Bentley was excited to go everyday and told me about how much fun he had ever afternoon at pick up. He had a blast! Thanks for making his time at sports camp fun and memorable.

I met Aaron in 2013 at an event for Recreation Professionals. When I heard him speak at the event I was struck by his enthusiasm and genuine passion for his vocation. I immediately knew I wanted to collaborate with him.I shared with Aaron the needs of our city’s teens and we created the ideal program that was incorporated into a teen summer camp. His high-caliber staff did an awesome job motivating the teens to learn and play a variety of sports as well as teaching them character-building skills.If you have an opportunity to collaborate and/or enroll youth into any of his programs I highly recommend that you do. You will find Aaron to be an inspirational leader, who has developed high-quality programs that have a meaningful impact on youth.

These camps were so great! Im so thankful I found them online. The coaches were super nice and my son loved every minute of them, especially making new friends that we will make play dates with in the future.

My son had the best experience and absolutely loved his coaches. He was so excited to go everyday he woke up early and was ready to head out the door! Thank you for this great experience we will definitely be back!

My son went to the Air Attack Flag Football camp and absolutely loved it! The coach was inclusive, knowledgeable and fun! My son came home every day telling me about the new football drills and skills he learned. A very worthwhile camp and love that he was active every day. Will be signing up for more camps this summer!!

My 7 year old loved this camp! We had him signed up for mornings, but switched to full day because he was having so much fun. We have a hoop in front of our house and we can tell he definitely learned moves!

Awesome camp! My kids enjoyed both the soccer and all sports camps. Coaches were amazing and so professional.

My son had a great time and Coach Courtney was awesome! His favorite sport was Dodge ball :) we will definitely sign up again next year

Great basketball camp. My 8 year old really enjoyed his days of camp! Thank you!

2021 was our first Summer w/NAA and my 6yr old son had a great time. I think a meeting with the instructors on the first day would be a good idea; so we know who our children are with and have a bit of a connection w/this National organization. And perhaps a last day meet up, maybe a summary of what the kids did/learned/experienced etc. So good, simple program but more connection would be an improvement.

This was my 7 year old sons first time in a camp by National Academy of Athletics and his first flag football experience. He greatly enjoyed the camp and he said the counselor was great. We will definitely attend another camp put on by this group again. Thank you!

My two sons did the Lacrosse camp in Marin this week and loved every minute. The camp councilors were amazing and made the week so much fun

My son had an excellent experience with Coach Bens basketball program. As a child who typically hangs back with new experiences, Coach Ben was able to get my son participating and excited about the game right from the start. Ben is professional, motivating, energetic and knowledgable. A great asset for kids programs!

Great coaches! First summer after lockdown during a heatwave and they did a great job, especially with the difficult circumstances. My kid had fun each day. 👍🏻

My daughter did the All sorts of sports sessions, and she absolutely loved it! Coach Ben is great with kids and she learned a lot about different sports and now she picked her favorite ones to focus on. It was a very positive experience.

A wonderful experience for our kids! I highly recommend. Its our kids favorite recreation program theyve ever done.

Excellent counselors, took great care with children of all age groups. Great camp, thank you!

In his two classes with the NAA (through my town’s park and rec department), my 5 year old TK student had a lot of fun playing and learning some good sports skills — and he got more experience listening to directions, taking turns, and making friends, which is all great prep for kindergarten.

Coach Ben is great and my daughter enjoyed the summer camp!

Coming out of covid our 7 yr old wasnt use to so much activity and socialization but the coach made it a perfect experience. He was excited to go every day and came home tired but happy.

Very fun for the kids and it felt COVID safe as well.

My boys learned not only sports BUT how to be better humans. It was an incredibly fun filled week filled with lots of physical and emotional learning !

THANK YOU to the team at NAOA for hosting the after school skills clinics.My son attended the basketball camp at Pioneer park in Santa Rosa. With all of our youth sports on hold, this is a wonderful option. And when the kids can play again, this will still be an great way to build confidence, improve skills and let the kids have FUN in a safe environment.Keep up the good work and stay safe!

Excellent sports programs for kids! We have recently done two flag football programs with NAOA and have been so pleased with the professionalism and organization of it all. The coach Al is so good with the kids by teaching them skills, team building and also fun! We have been so happy with the program and looking forward to signing my 9-year old up again for Flag Football in the next session.

I have known Aaron for over 20 years ... he always leads with his compassion and hard work for the people he works with ... and for the people he serves ... simply stated ... well done!

I have been an Area Captain for the National Academy of Athletics for the past 3 years. I manage the San Jose territory. It is an amazing organization to be a part of. Aaron Locks is a genius with youth sports programming!! I wish I had these fun activities when I was playing sports as a kid!

Great coach! Kids learn skills and drills and have fun!

I have been a Area Captain with the National Academy of Athletics for 4 years now. It is a great organization to be a part of. There is nothing better than people providing quality physical fitness programs for children and being of service in the community.

My son always had a great time with Ben, and learned a lot about the game of basketball

As an Area Captain for the National Academy of Athletics, I am very proud to be a part of a team who truly believes in their mission to bring youth sports to children everywhere! The organization is passionate about making a positive difference in each kids life that engages in any NAofA program.

This was an outstanding experience for my children and they attended multiple sessions. They learned a variety of skills had a ton of fun and this was in a COVID safe environment.

This was the perfect “P.E.” replacement during Covid. The coach was great and my daughter had a blast. Thank you!!

My son attended T-ball lessons and had a blast! Coach al is super patient and great teacher for the kids! For sure we will attend NAofA again!

My son had a funtastic time at the in-person camps during Thanksgiving and Winter break.The coaches are inclusive, friendly, fun, energetic, and create an environment where kids feel welcome and safe.

I have been an Area Captain for the NAofA for 2.5 years now. It is a great company to work for and the management team provides so much support. I have learned a lot in my time here and plan to be with the company for a while! If you are interested in coaching or potentially running a business of your own in Youth Sports this is an amazing company and you should look into it as a viable option for yourself!

Aaron Locks is an icon amongst youth sports educators and I feel fortunate to have he and his staff nearby. Their passion and knowledge is unsurpassed.I highly recommend any of their programs.

National Academy of Athletics is an amazing and beneficial experience for children! I highly recommend checking out all of their sports camps. They are affordable and give children the skills and confidence they need to properly play sports

I have had both my boys attend these camps. The kids are taught skills and work hard! The leadership is very positive and they accommodate the advanced players, as well as beginners!

Our staff loves working with children to help them to develop sports specific skills, learn to compete, meet new friends, develop confidence all while having tons of fun!Thank you for allowing us to work with your children. #PlayHardHaveFun

CEO and Founder Aaron Locks is an amazing instructor for basketball officiating. He brought an incredible amount of enthusiasm to camp that was infectious, and his teaching method was engaging. I appreciated that he encouraged us to think and reflect, asking us what we learned so that the learnings stick. Along with his devotion and passion to the sport, he brought attention to the best of officiating, and he exemplifies a genuine willingness to share his wisdom and nurture students of the game.

Had an amazing experience at a camp as a kid developing my basketball skills that have helped me playing as a High school varsity player.
