Kids First Sports Center
With an extensive menu of nearly 20 programs, camps and related activities, Kids First Sports Center views sports as a ‘tool’ to fulfill the Kids First Mission, “to help kids grow into happy, healthy, responsible adults.” At 108,000 square feet, Kids First is the largest organization of its kind in the USA and probably the world. However, its greatest strength is its employees: Imagine over 200
talented teachers and coaches gathered under one roof, all dedicated to the Kids First Mission and 7 Unifying Principles—unconditional respect, trustworthiness and integrity, collaboration and teamwork, open forthright communication, perpetual growth and initiative, respect for the company and balance—and you have an idea why over 4,000 children a week (and 225 great Employees!) call Kids First ‘home.’
