INFORMATION ABOUT NAFBF

The NAFBF was created for teen athletes. The purpose is to provide life-skill opportunities to those teens, while allowing them the chance to develop their athletic abilities. All done for a very inexpensive fee. Unlike other youth sports organizations who see your teen in terms of $$$$, NAFBF is a non-profit, devoted to amateur sports, to engage youth in a positive, success driven culture!

The NAFBF develops and elevates talent and builds pathways to success for student-athletes. We provide high-quality sports training and competition, along with programs for college access, career development, and health and wellness.

We purposefully build and leverage relationships with diverse leaders and key institutions to provide young people opportunities and access to the industries driving the 21st Century economy.

The NAFBF Promises our families and communities, every NAFBF student-athlete graduates from high school equipped with a winning game plan to succeed in life. By pairing our elite athletic training with structured life-skill support and guidance,?all grounded in a culture of love and belief, the NAFBF inspires young people to pursue their dreams with passion and confidence.

Through our work, we are shifting the national mindset about what it takes for youth to succeed and building a movement of citizens committed to their success.

The NAFBF is inspiring a national movement of citizens who believe in the incredible wealth of talent and ability of young people. With incredible Partners and Believers, we shift from a story of deficits and gaps to one of assets and talents, and leaders in America’s private, public, and philanthropic sectors will shift their investments in communities toward this asset-based framework.

The result will be the development and scaling of educational opportunities and career pathways that harness the talents of young people, creating more equitable opportunity to succeed and thrive in the modern economy.

Focusing on individual responsibility and excellence combined with teamwork and shared accountability, our staff uses the lessons and values of team sports to provide young people a blueprint for personal growth.

We provide student-athletes access to exceptional year-round life-skill training, mentoring, and health and wellness education.

We know the power and impact of sports is so much bigger than what happens on the field. Through sports, young people develop confidence, resilience, humility, and critical skills and mindsets grounded in practice, learning, and collaboration. This is the power of Youth Sports.

NAFBF programs go much further than sports, and, ultimately, our work goes much deeper than the delivery of programs. Our work is grounded in the development of trusting, caring relationships that let young people know they are valued and loved.?

As a community-based youth development organization, the NAFBF plays an outsized role in the country’s civic leadership realm. Indeed, the NAFBF is much more than a youth-serving nonprofit organization – our leadership team and Board of Directors engage on critical issues and cultivate strong connections to leaders in the political, philanthropic, and business sectors, making the NAFBF a catalyst for action on behalf of ommunities and residents around the country.

The unique approach of the NAFBF leverages the expertise, resources, and collaboration of cross-sector partners to build sustainable pathways to higher education and quality employment.
