Parents:
“Everyone was easy to get along with and was
always willing to work with y ou with any problems or conflicts”
“Very good first year - we won a lot too!”
“I watched my son and the other boys learn life lessons and how to
lose gracefully; how to play hard but remain a Christian on the
field as well as off. I watched the older boys “step up” and become
leaders and mentors to the younger boys.”
“the coaches not only coached the sport well, but coached the boys
well in life lessons and character”
“Both coaches were Christians on the field as well as off. At
the games and practices I attended I saw coaches patiently
instructing the boys with out “going ballistic” even if they had to
explain the same thing over and over. Both coaches are
wonderful role models for our sons.”
“The soccer tournament was a great experience – awesome volleyball
also”
“watching my son enjoy the success of playing well, playing often,
winning often and enjoying the team experience.”

ASI Testimonials From Athletic Association Board
and Members:
We cannot say enough good things
about ASI. Since our son became involved with ASI in April of this
year, we have been able to see significant strides in his
performance, speed, agility and stamina on the football field.
This, however, is not the main reason we are so pleased. ASI works
on strengthening the body from the inside out, so as to prevent
injury. We have seen this first hand. Dylan was tackled on the
field and his arm was hyper-extended. This would have resulted in
major injury, but he only had a strain due to his working out at
ASI. We appreciate all that ASI does to support his athletic
aspirations, but more importantly we appreciate the way they look
after the health and attitude of our kids.
Jeff & Shawna Wilkie
ASI is the place for the Toney
family! We have athletic children. Our children are kinesthetic:
moving, jumping, running, and playing. They would be active whether
they were involved in organized sports or not. Sport teams are
where our children fit the best! ASI offers specific training, a
safe Christian environment, encouragement to eat nutritionally
correct, and a mindset of good work ethics and discipline. In
addition to all of this, ASI helps each child become physically
prepared for practice and games. This training has been proven to
help prevent injuries! Injuries are costly and potentially life
changing. ASI is a good fit for our family!
Greg and Glenna Toney
I certainly think we need to keep
beating the physical conditioning drum for all interested home
school athletes. Whether they are able to participate at ASI or not,
every athlete needs to be getting in shape and staying in shape
throughout the year. This is a message that I believe is very
important to convey and will certainly be important to all of our
coaches who I hope will give their players specifics on
conditioning.
Ned & Julia Gibson
“Athletics is more than just learning a skill. Athletics entails proper training to maximize potential and minimize pain.”
“Even though our children are young, we think this is a great platform, we are encouraged!”
David and Kari Payne
Some of the reasons we think that ASI will be beneficial to our HS athletic programs:
1) Highly trained, professional trainers who are trustworthy with our children
2) Should work to build great team camaraderie within and across the various sports our kids play together for years to come
3) A tremendous place for P.E., which every HS child struggles with since many don't have kids their age to play/compete with
4) Will build our children physically to protect their health overall
We want our boys involved with ASI for all of the above reasons. We also want to see them develop to their fullest potential for God's glory, no matter what He might call them to do in life - sports or otherwise. There is an environment of excellence at ASI, which we agree is missing among so many athletic and other programs for children today. This will build their confidence and keep them striving for the best God has for them. We really are impressed with the facility and their commitment to training children and young people in a clean, safe environment. We are excited about getting started!
