our story

Our story began in the midst of the pandemic. While the world saw many restrictions, we found ourselves in a situation where our kids did not have an outlet for their social and emotional development. We were searching for activities/ sports programs to build their skills and discipline.  Nothing seemed to fit what we were looking for in the 1st – 3rd grade age group.  Growing up with a large support system through family and friends, we knew the importance of a good group of friends in these early years. It was this bond, along with the mentorship and a strong sense of self, which allowed us to navigate the ups and downs of life and push ourselves to strive for success.  As we went through life and were blessed with children of our own, we searched for ways our children could succeed in life while maintaining a strong sense of self.  We feel Sports and athletics solves this need as it plays a major role in keeping kids grounded, keeps them active, and sets them up for a lifetime of discipline, health, and success.  

Northside Fitness and Athletics was born based on this need after realizing the options for a professional sports outlet for children to blossom as young athletes at this age are limited.  After launching our pilot program in October 2021, we realized how impactful this was to our local community for a skills-based camp, and Northside Fitness and Athletics was created!
