Ultimate Sports Association (USA) is dedicated to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We exist to provide our community with programs in an environment that allows us to develop our youth to their full potential, socially, physically and mentally. We use sports as a tool to:* Teach and inspire leadership in our youth* Give back to our community and teach our youth to do the same* Promote the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle* Prepare our youth to succeed in lifePrior to COVID hitting in March of 2020, we operated as we have in past years, serving as a community hub for youth organizations to host basketball and educational related activities. Unfortunately, when COVID hit, most of our standard activities were no longer allowable. Therefore, we went back to the drawing board and collaborated with County health officials, local health care providers and a number of colleagues nationwide to adjust our offerings in a way that would allow us to safely serve our community's new need throughout the pandemic.Simply put, 2020 was a challenging year for our programming. However, thanks to a dedicated staff and the large open environment of our facility, we were able to pivot and offer a number of socially distant activities that served our community by:* Providing families with much needed childcare in the form of basketball clinics and camps* Providing the youth in our community with an opportunity to stay physically active and mentally healthy* Providing employment opportunities in a safe and healthy work place at a time when most organizations were laying off staff* Providing youth organizations in our community with a safe and healthy environment in which they could offer socially distant programmingSome of the activities offered to our community included:* Mental Health Community Forums, providing parents with advice on the following: * Coping with Stress, Anxiety and Depression in Times of Crisis * Helping Teens Cope with Grief & Loss During COVID-19 * Parenting Challenges During COVID-19* Daily Shoot 360 Tech/Socially Distanced Training (one of just 8 facilities worldwide able to offer this technology)* Daily basketball and life-skills training sessions (socially distanced format)* Dedicated daily COVID Testing Space for NBA Players* Allow other youth organizations to host socially distant day camp activities as a form of child care* Allow other youth organizations to host socially distant team camp activitiesAs a result of these activities, we were able to serve our community in 2020 by providing a safe and secure facility that was utilized as follows:* Hosted 2 months of Virtual Camps and Trainings via Zoom during the Shelter in Place* Hosted 753 basketball training classes/clinics (socially distant format)* Hosted 15,000+ Shoot 360 training sessions (socially distant tech training, allowing players to compete in our facility to compete virtually against computers or players in other facilties* Provided 682 free Shoot 360 sessions* Provided 313 free basketball training sessions* Provided approximatly 10,000 part-time staff employment hoursUltimate Sports Association continues to look for opportunities to serve the community.
