Welcome to to the All Pro Sports Training Academy!
Organization History: In 2009, the All Pro Sports Training Academy (APSTA) was formed as a nonprofit 501c3 organization in efforts to build community-based initiatives geared toward youth and families as well as to showcase the positive reinforcement that athletics can give a youth. APSTA is determined to continue to reach all youth with emphasis on those deemed “high risk” to show them that hard work DOES payoff. APSTA understands the various factors associated with decreasing youth , especially inner city youth, opportunities for positive outcomes; therefore, APSTA is 100% committed to empowering and developing activities for youth from underserved communities thru our various partnerships with the Houston Parks & Recreation Department, Neighborhood Centers Inc. and Independence Heights Redevelopment Council. Realistically, APSTA wants to convey to all youth that no matter what their circumstances are, if they work hard, they can achieve their goals and succeed. APSTA seeks to encourage today’s youth to reach their full potential in both athletic and academic pursuits.
~Our Adopted Community Location~
Independence Heights is a community in Houston, Texas, bordered by Crosstimbers to the north, Yale Street to the west, the 610 Loop to the south, and Airline Drive to the east.[1] It was originally an incorporated city of its own. The Wright Land Company secured the land, incorporated in 1910, and developed a new community for blacks. By doing their own financing they made it possible for people with small incomes to become homeowners.
Future Goals: APSTA eagerly anticipates the construction/building of the Sports & Wellness/Learning Center to be a community outlet for safe, healthy recreation and will be geared at modifying eating habits, targeting obesity, educating in the disciplines of Engineering, Technology, Science, Mathamatics,eliminating latch key kid syndrome, reducing high crime & gang activity and serve as a pilar in this community.
