Take Care! Joe Evans "As a first year 11 & Under team, I was concerned whether my team could 'catch up' to the competition. Power Forward has made it possible to do exactly that! Sean, Daryl, and the rest of the staff are dedicated and driven to positively move young athletes forward in their endurance, physical skills, and self-confidence. Players are given natural abilities that get you only so far; this program really helps each athlete maximize their talents. The added benefit was seeing teammates cheering each other on as they improved their strength and conditioning. I really believe that it helps the physical and mental side of the game for your entire team. It's definitely made all our players better athletes and team players!"
