our mission

Building Champions
On and Off the Field

Our goal is for children to build a passion for the games we love by teaching them the right way! This includes Teamwork, Sportsmanship & the FUNdamentals. In addition to these three pillars, it's essential to create an inclusive and supportive environment. This involves recognizing and celebrating individual achievements, fostering a sense of belonging, and providing opportunities for each child to shine. Tailoring activities to the age and skill level of the participants ensures that the learning experience is both challenging and rewarding.

By adhering to these principles, 22:6 Athletics can contribute not only to the physical development of children but also to their emotional and social growth. The ultimate aim is to create a generation of individuals who not only excel in sports but also embody the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, and a genuine love for the games they play. Through this approach, 22:6 Athletics can play a pivotal role in shaping well-rounded individuals who carry these positive traits into various aspects of their lives.
