Mission

Houston Youth Athletic Club operates as an organization that exists to promote the discovery of jesus through sports. We bring christian leaders, athletes, and the communities they serve together through the universal language of sports, strengthening young athletes by helping them grow in mind, body, and soul. As a non-denominational christian sports ministry provider, Houston Youth Athletic Club offers programs designed to give athletes, who have found their love of the game, a place to be challenged so that they can strive for more performance. Houston young athletic club provides valuable resources that aid in planning, training, and executing first class, organized, and detailed sports offerings.

The 360 progression offers comprehensive training and instruction that increases in intensity with each athlete as they improve, enriches their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual development.

Programs

  1. At Houston Stars we believe in a Relentless Pursuit of Excellence in all we do. We want to train and challenge our athletes at the highest level. We want our athletes to have a profound impact on those around them On and Off the Court We believe: that there is a need in Houston to not just be another club, but a club that parents want their daughters and sons to be a part of. We want to be a place where players can't wait to get in the gym and get better. We believe there needs to be a place where every athlete is looked out for. Jesus lived his life with utmost integrity, a fiery passion for what he thought was right, and a keen sense for the needs of those around Him. This is how we will model the way we coach, train and compete.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
