The Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation provides athletics to children around the Metro East area. Sports include basketball, volleyball, baseball/softball, football, soccer, golf, and cheerleading.
YOUTH ATHLETICS
Summer Camp is essentially the all-day version of our After School Program, one of our most important and beneficial programs for kids. We fill their summer with enriching experiences that have profound impact on their lives and wellbeing, and reduce the summer learning gap.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Jackie Joyner-Kersee’s athletics is based around Jackie Joyner-Kersee’s Winning in Life curriculum! Our athletes and teams are top tier. JJK’s athletics are led by leaders and coaches in the community where they teach valuable and meaningful structure, sportsmanship, and life lessons.
At the end of each sports season, athletes and coaches are celebrated with a sports banquet where the athletes are presented with awards such as trophies, Winning in Life metals, and/or plaques.
