Founded in Spokane, Washington in 1979, Skyhawks Sports has long been a trailblazer in the world of youth athletic development. The organization specializes in providing structured sports programs designed to teach core athletic and life skills to children in an engaging, supportive environment.
Skyhawks offers a broad range of activities, including summer camps, leagues, clinics, and after-school programs, with a focus on sports like soccer, basketball, and flag football. The brand took a major step forward in 2007 when it launched its franchising initiative to extend its programs to communities nationwide.
In 2002, the company introduced SuperTots Sports Academy—a groundbreaking concept aimed at children aged 18 months to 5 years. It became one of the first programs of its kind to offer structured, skill-building sessions in sports such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, hockey, and cheerleading, tailored specifically to preschool-aged kids.
Their combined mission to promote physical development and character-building in youth through age-appropriate instruction has made them a respected name in the youth sports education industry.
