OVERVIEW
Inspire’s AAU club teams were created for the purpose of providing a foundation that teaches student-athletes about discipline, dedication and determination. Our vision is to create a platform for athletes (Middle and High School), to work with one another within a community driven by similar career paths, while INSPIRING one another to be successful. We believe that there is a need to instill values in our youth, and by providing these values we will prepare our student- athletes to become the next generation of leaders that will make a difference in society, while creating a positive environment of support amongst each athlete’s respective goals.
