MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER
PictureCoach J, Founder & CEO

​It Takes A Village Youth Services (ITAVYS) is a sport-based youth development organization that uses sports, fitness and fun as vehicles to obtain our goals. ITAVYS has two main goals: to combat childhood obesity and to promote our core values through play and fun.  Our methodology for combating childhood obesity is to promote a fun and fit lifestyle through sports and games for all levels of athleticism. The promotion of our core values: Communication, Accountability, Teamwork, Self- discipline, Leadership, and of course our essential core value, Fun are incorporated in safe, competitive atmospheres that brings out the best in every participant.   Participants learn to love to compete because competition makes you better. Winning is not the focus, competing against yourself, to become better than you are, leads to winning and a positive lifestyle. It takes all those involved “The Village” to build self confidence in our youth.
