Coach Floyd is coaching basketball!

Coach Floyd is a Coach Across America member in Hartford, CT.  Coach Across America (CAA) is an AmeriCorps program launched by Up2Us to provide its member organizations with the support needed to train and host highly effective coaches in sports and youth development throughout the United States.

Coach Floyd  teaches basketball to kids in his community. Coach Floyd said playing basketball growing up gave him the motivation needed to stay focused in school.  He said he joined CAA so he can give kids the opportunities he had thanks to sports. “Sport helped my life so much, I want to help others using sport and education. I feel like not everyone gets the opportunities that I had so I want to help.”

Thanks to all of your donations, Coach Floyd can continue to inspire and empower kids through sports.  Thank you all for making it possible for Floyd to keep coaching kids for the next year!
