The Faces of Coach Drake 🤣

"Good job"

"Now...why would you do that!?"

"Come here...no, that's wrong..let's fix that."

Coaching is more than yelling. Its teaching, correcting, and making sure every rep has a purpose.

Meet Coach Robyn. ❤️

Every great youth program needs coaches who know how to connect with children, and Coach Robyn does exactly that.

A former cheerleading coach, she's officially coming out of retirement to help lead the next generation of young athletes through movement, encouragement, and plenty of smiles. Today, she's known as Mrs. Fox, keeping our campers engaged while teaching them to move with purpose, stay focused, and most importantly, have fun.

What may look like a simple game is actually helping our young athletes develop balance, coordination, posture, body control, and listening skills, all while building confidence in a positive environment. That's the power of teaching through play.

Coach Robyn also serves as a Board Member of Johnie Drake Athletics, where her heart for children and passion for youth development continue to shape our mission beyond the camp floor.

We're grateful to have leaders who believe every child deserves to be encouraged, challenged, and celebrated.

Movement is where every athlete's story begins.

Our FUNdamental Motor Skills Camp brought together young athletes who were challenged to run, jump, balance, react, and compete in an environment built on encouragement, accountability, and growth. Every drill had a purpose, every coach poured into our campers, and every smile reminded us why this mission matters.

Through our D.R.A.K.E. Values of Development, Resilience, Accountability, Knowledge, and Excellence, we are committed to helping young athletes build the foundation that prepares them for success in sports and in life.

To every parent who trusted us with your child, every volunteer who served, every coach who invested their time, and every young athlete who gave their best, thank you.

What an incredible weekend at our Johnie Drake Athletics FUNdamental Motor Skills Camp! Thank you to every family that trusted us with your young athletes and to every camper who came ready to learn, move, and have fun. Your energy, effort, and excitement made this camp a success.

Our mission extends far beyond sports. We designed this camp to help young athletes develop the fundamental motor skills that serve as the foundation for every sport, including balance, coordination, agility, object control, body awareness, and confidence. When children build these movement patterns early, they create habits that support both athletic success and lifelong physical activity.

This is where development begins. We're proud to invest in the next generation by creating opportunities for young athletes to grow through movement, guided by the D.R.A.K.E. values: Development, Resilience, Accountability, Knowledge, and Excellence. We can't wait to see you at the next camp! 🏁❤️💙

Learning how to throw and receive a chest pass helps develop hand-eye coordination, timing, body control, and teamwork. This skill transfers to nearly every sport.

Fundamental movement and object control skills are the building blocks 🧱 of athletic development and confidence.

Our next FUNdamental Motor Skills Camp is June 27-28. Sign up today!!

Athletes develop through participation. Every practice, every rep, and every opportunity to compete is a chance to become dominate!
