after school program
Building Confidence. Inspiring Commitment. Creating Community.
Our After School Program combines structured CORE Skills training with CORE Values development, helping students grow stronger — physically, through our CORE Values of Confidence, Commitment, and Community, we empower kids to become leaders both on and off the mats.
CORE Skills Development
Students can explore a variety of programs taught by expert instructors:
- Wrestling
- Jiu-Jitsu
- Striking
- Strength
- Self Defense
Grades: 4th - 8th
Schools We Serve
We provide transportation from:
