About Us
Who Are We?
Take Me Higher Athletics is an organization developed for the sports minded, high achieving, goal oriented youth that is determined to make it to the next level.
Our goal is to not only provide a safe haven for our youth to turn to but also provide the skill training necessary to bring out the striving athlete within them or enhance and tame the athletic beast that has already been leashed.
Through rigorous training sessions designed to provide a greater understanding of the fundamentals of various sports, we aim to develop new athletic, leadership, and teamwork skills.
What We Do
Take Me Higher provide training sessions, games, camps and tournaments which is headed by highly experienced coaches that are interested in the development of athletes looking to reach their full potential and accomplish their professional dreams and/or goals.
Our philosophy is to provide as many young athletes the opportunity and the chance to develop their skills, learn life lessons and enjoy the sport of their choice. Opportunities are available for a recreational player looking to enhance their skills while playing for fun to an advance player with a competitive desire and passion to become a complete player both physically and mentally.
Through our approach of F.I.N.A.O. (Failure is Not an Option), we aim to motivate the minds of our youth to strive to reach their goals and dreams not only in the area of sports, but in whatever they want to accomplish in life using sports as a conduit.
