Koa Sports League

Here at Koa, we pride ourselves on being more than just a sports outfit. We like to believe we’re helping build community. After home and school, it’s often athletic fields and facilities that become the “third place” for so many of our youth. As such, we take our responsibility as community organizers very seriously. After locking ourselves in our own “situation room” (aka drinking coffee on the couches in our office), we decided Koa needed a set of core values. Yes, our mission statement articulated our operational approach and organizational standards, but mission statements are for board-meetings. We needed something we could use in the field. As we train our coaches, introduce ourselves to parents and psych ourselves up before leaving our heated cars to coach on frosty November mornings, what was the point? Who did we want to be? What were the things we needed to embody in order to achieve our mission? Thus, our core values were born… POSITIVE. DEDICATED. TEAM-FIRST. FUN. Mission: Koa is committed to shaping kids’ lives through sports. Koa aims to develop each child to his or her full potential as an athlete and a person: – Employing trained and dedicated professional coaches and instructors who operate under the supervision and management of our full time professional staff – Providing a positive community for our young athletes and their families – Using sports as a vehicle to teach life lessons like hard work, sportsmanship, self-discipline, and coping with adversity
