Athletics
Program Mission: HOLA’s Athletics and Outdoor Activities Program promotes personal development, health and fitness, commitment to athletic excellence and exemplary sportsmanship.
HOLA is the co-founder of the Central City Athletic Association (CCAA), which provides soccer and basketball leagues for youth located throughout Los Angeles. Through the CCAA, HOLA provides young athletes who do not otherwise have access to team sports with the opportunity to participate in organized sports, with quality instruction and an opportunity to showcase their skills. Each year over 1,000 boys and girls, ages 6-19, participate in leagues sponsored by the CCAA.
In addition to the CCAA, HOLA offers elementary, middle and high school youth an extensive recreation and sports program. Students can participate in exercise, fitness and dance classes, learn about nutrition/healthy cooking, and learn and play a variety of sports, including flag football, swimming, tennis, soccer, and basketball.
Program Goals:
- To assist in the physical, social, academic and emotional development of our youth
- To teach students the discipline they need to succeed by working to acquire athletic skills and practicing good sportsmanship
