SPN AFTER SCHOOL SPORTS 

View and Register Today!

Junction Place Sports and St. Philip Neri have agreed to a partnership in which Junction Place Sports will provide after-school sports programming at St. Philip Neri School. Sessions will be broken into (6)- week periods of once a week instruction and game-play in specific sports for K & 1st/2nd & 3rd Grade students.

Programs meet on scheduled weekday afternoons from 3:40-4:40 PM. Junction Place Sports Staff, with the aid of the St. Philip Neri Faculty, will transport and be in care of participants from school dismissal to the play space and will continue to provide care and coaching until parents sign-out at the time of program dismissal (4:40-4:50 PM). This means parents/guardians are not responsible for picking up or providing care for participants until after 4:40 PM.

Participants will be grouped according to grade (K & 1st/ 2nd & 3rd). Season sessions will rotate grade availability/offering. Registrations for each six week programs is $85.

BUILDING BLOCKS- OUR RECIPE FOR SUCCESS!  

Our approach to early childhood and elementary age sports education is simple: provide a foundation based on the basic elements of the subject matter and don't put a cap on the results!  

Leading young people doesn't require personal accolades ​​or success of the instructor in the given subject matter. Young people have a zest for knowledge and experience, what "you did" probably occurred before they were born so it's really insignificant to their perspective. What does matter in the mind of a young person is can you relate? Can you inspire? Can you communicate on a level that THEY can understand? At Junction Place Sports, our staff is provided a curriculum, better yet a language, that ensures just that! While communication with parents/guardians is of the utmost importance to our organizational principals, our aim is to have YOUR child be able to explain to you what they learned and love about Basketball Basics and Simply Soccer!  

We provide clear and pointed adult based information- the "who/what/where/when's". What we don't do is force a narrative of what your child did or how they felt about it in a "copy and paste" email/text format that has become common place today. That's not the job of an instructor of young people. We aim to have your child fill in the blanks to whatever questions you may have! Our instruction is repetitive, like, really repetitive, as in, we say the same phrases over and over and over and over again- something we are sure you can understand. We don't back away from that approach. It works.  

Here is what you can expect when you provide your child the experience of Junction Place Sports' Basketball Basic or Simply Soccer Programs:

  • Knowledge: Our coaches must receive 200 hours of practical training with JPS Founder/CEO "Coach" Josh Tolbert before being able to leading Junction Place Sports programs.  
  • Passion: Our coaches all come with a passion for sports (check out "Our Team" story) and for cultivating a similar love of sport with the children we serve.  
  • Patience An intricate part of leading children through any discipline is patience. They will make mistakes. Directions will need to be repeated. Basic concepts will need to be reinforced. These ideals are a point of emphasis in our "Coaches Playbook" that guides all Junction Place Sports coaches. Knowing everything there is to know about a particular discipline is great! Forgetting or not recognizing the wonderful patience and persistence required to master any skill and failing to implement that while leading others is simply unacceptable.
