ONE LOVE SPORTS LEAGUE

For ages 10 - 14
At One Love Sports Camp our mission is to foster the development of young athletes by offering high-quality athletic training in a safe and enjoyable environment for youth of all ages. One Love Sports Camp is our flagship program that has been bringing hundreds of young people together every summer for over a decade. Our week-long camps offer youth a chance to develop their fundamental skills in basketball, soccer, volleyball, lacrosse, baseball, and more. Our experienced coaching staff are here to equip young athletes with the skills and knowledge to excel in the sport of their choice, knowing that everything they gain will support them on and off the field. Our campers take the skills, teamwork, mindset, and new relationships they’ve gained into the rest of their lives so that they can excel not only in sports but in everything they do.
At One Love Sports Camp, we provide the proper coaching and instruction that allows young athletes to hone their skills. This instruction is often lacking in recreational athletics, which limits young people’s potential for growth and development in their sport. Our solution is to offer a carefully curated sports curriculum led by experienced coaches who are here to help students become the best athletes they can be.
