Keeping kids active since 2004!!
AKASPORT is a 501(c)3 Minnesota Nonprofit Organization.
Incorporated in 2004, AKASPORT was created to provide multi-sport programs and camps for kids.
The mission of AKASPORT is to encourage kids of all abilities to live an active lifestyle by providing sports and fitness programs for youth, families, schools and communities.
AKASPORT currently offers summer camps, before and after school programs, school release break day programs and community events designed for kids and families to spend their time playing a variety of sports, making friends, learning healthy lifestyle skills and attending fun and educational events throughout the Twin Cities.
We believe sports can teach kids discipline and teamwork while having fun! Our multi-sport approach offers new challenges each week in a stress free, positive environment designed to encourage and motivate all children, regardless of ability.
Keeping kids active through sport seems like such a simple concept, but organized youth sports have become too competitive; what gets lost in the process is fun.
Sports help kids develop their physical skills while learning life lessons about teamwork and good sportsmanship; however, the number of kids under the age of 10 that play, train for, and compete in only ONE sport all year long is rapidly increasing. This is what inspired us to create AKASPORT.
The relentless pursuit of a single sport is stressful for kids. It deprives them of opportunities to engage with a larger group of kids and try new things. Most importantly, it takes the fun out of the game.
We believe that exposure to multiple sports and active events (including music and the arts!) encourages kids to try new things, meet new people, learn bigger lessons, and find healthy activities they can enjoy for the rest of their lives.
Community Support
We engage our respective communities in many different ways; whether it be after school programs, before school programs, and summer camps. Some of our community support initiatives include: Earth Day Park Cleanup, Community Appreciation Events, and the Annual Winter Coat Drive. AKASPORT supports our community whenever possible through donations, sponsorship, scholarships or volunteering. Read more about the impact we are making in our community.
