Big news YMA Sports Academy is officially adding BOXING. 🥊

This is bigger than learning how to throw punches. We’re building discipline, confidence, conditioning, character, and a stronger mindset in our youth.

Basketball opened the door now we’re expanding the academy to give our kids even more ways to grow, compete, and become leaders.

YMA Sports Academy Basketball + Boxing.

Happy Labor Day from YMA Youth Mentorship Academy! 🇺🇸💪🏾

Today we salute the hardworking men and women who get up every day, handle business, provide for their families, and keep our communities moving forward.

At YMA, we believe that same work ethic has to be passed down to the next generation discipline, dedication, leadership, and never being afraid to BE DIFFERENT.

We’re not just building athletes.

I gotta take a moment and give a HUGE THANK YOU to Eddie Denard for showing real love to my kids and giving them an opportunity to experience his Pro Am league 💯🏀

It’s bigger than basketball. Giving these young men a chance to step into a different environment, be around high-level players, see the game up close, and feel like they belong in those spaces can leave an impact that lasts way beyond one day.

Eddie, you didn’t have to open the doors and show love to my program, but you did and I’m truly grateful. When people pour into the youth, give them access, and create experiences they’ll remember, that means EVERYTHING to me.

These are the type of moments we work for at YMA. Showing our kids that there’s more out here, putting them in rooms they may have never imagined being in, and letting them see firsthand what’s possible.

Thank you Eddie for believing in what we’re building and, most importantly, for showing love to the kids. We appreciate you more than you know. 🤝🏾💯
