"There are not enough words to thank Athletics & Beyond for all of the opportunities they have provided for Machi Cross. From traveling and competing on the field to touring universities to volunteering to leadership to scholarship information to internships to networking to SAT prep they have given us so much! I watched my son attend 2 official recruiting visits this weekend where he was front and center for each speech, making eye contact, asking questions and thanking all the coaches and staff and shaking their hands. I couldn’t have been more proud! Today, I got to sit with him as he was interviewed by Justin Adams from CBS Denver for Mile High Magazine! I am forever grateful for Narcy and the A&B program." - Aubrey Martin (parent)

PROGRAMMING
STEM summer program ; serving over 30 scholars from Green Valley Ranch and Park Hill. A&B offered a structured opportunity for children to grow. Build a Go-kart Alley Camp was a unique venue for growth, allowing kids to become independent and self-confident, while socializing and making new friends, and even learned new skills. Young adults learned about engineering design principles, physical science, forces, motion, simple machines, gravity, mass, friction, speed, kinetic and potential energy, and more, hands-on as they build, test, fail, redesign and rebuild their go-karts. This wasn’t textbook instruction, either. Kids had fun and worked collaboratively through the process.
