With the Grand Opening of the Dodge Jones Youth Sports Center on February 21, 2020, AYSA’s time has been spent planning for a lot of EXCITING events that will provide you (or your student athletes) a place to come the entire Spring and Summer!
FEBRUARY EVENT RECAP
February 21, 2020, we officially opened the doors of the Dodge Jones Youth Sports Center! The Opening Ceremony was heavily attended by the community, and extremely well received. We are SO EXCITED!
February 22, one day after opening, AYSA hosted a very successful youth basketball camp, made even more incredible by the guest appearance of NBA Player Bruce Bowen!
The 2020 West Texas All Youth Expo event and fundraiser, held on February 29th at the brand new Dodge Jones Youth Sports Center, was a huge success for AYSA and the community.

FIRM FOUNDATION ACADEMIES
THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS TO SUCCESS
Playing sports is like living life – the fundamental skills must be learned, practiced, and turned into habits (character) in order to truly succeed and grow! When the pressures build in a close game or in areas of our lives, our performance always falls to the level of skills that we have made our normal habits (character). Competition REVEALS our skills (character) more than it BUILDS our skills (character).
PRACTICE & TRAINING IS WHERE OUR GAME IS BUILT!!
Firm Foundation Academies provide fun, challenging, and encouraging environments where youth learn to develop the skills they need to succeed in their sports and in their lives. Firm Foundation athletes receive quality instructions, COOL T-SHIRTS, and a comprehensive handbook for them to continue their development at home with their parents and friends.
Be sure to follow us on Social Media, and use #AYSA2020 for anything AYSA/Dodge Jones Youth Sports Center related.
Raising the Bar – The Abilene Youth Sports Authority is on a mission to help kids, coaches, and parents have a better experience with youth sports than ever before. We want to cultivate an atmosphere of friendly competition and good sportsmanship throughout the Abilene area and beyond.
