From a Press Release:

Our continued growth speaks volumes about the demand for structured, positive, and developmentally appropriate youth sports programs,” explains Laree Mancour, Partner at NAofA. “San Diego North is a vibrant and active community, making it the perfect place to introduce our proven business model.”

The San Diego North NAofA franchise will be led by Christiana Lawrence, who brings a deep passion for youth development and sports education to the role. Lawrence expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to serve local families: “At NAofA — San Diego North, we’re excited to get more kids outside, active, and developing a love for fitness while building teamwork and perseverance.”

This expansion comes at a critical time when childhood obesity rates remain concerning and many young people face increasing anxiety. NAofA’s programs are designed not only to develop athletic skills but also to combat these issues by instilling lifelong healthy habits and boosting mental well-being through physical activity.

Local Schools And Organizations Are Excited About NAofA Opening

Local schools and municipal organizations have reportedly been eagerly anticipating NAofA’s franchise arrival in the region, where high-quality youth sports programming options have been limited.

That said, the academy plans to partner with these local entities to deliver professional coaching and character-building activities for children of all skill levels.

Indeed, the successful franchise model demonstrates the growing demand for quality youth sports programs nationwide. NAofA continues to actively seek franchise partners who share their vision of empowering young athletes and transforming communities through sports.

Finally, for families in San Diego North, this new franchise promises to provide children with access to the same exceptional sports education that has benefited thousands of young athletes across NAofA’s existing locations. The programs emphasize not just athletic development but also important life skills that serve children well beyond the playing field.
