Promoting our Partners
 

Boys and Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix
A partner since 2002, the Boys & Girls Club of Metropolitan Phoenix (BGCMP) is raising the bar of excellence in youth sport by requiring all coaches and parents to attend yearly AIA Academy trainings. As part of our Train the Traines program, BGCMP has four in-house traininers certified in the AIA Academy curriculum. BGCMP is also partnering with the Academy to re-design its youth basketball leagues to be a developmentally appropriate model for its other youth sport organizations. Please visit BGCMP's website http://bgcmp.org for information on a branch near you.
