What's Behind The Name?
Nine 25's name comes from Corinthians 9:25 which states,
"All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize.
Why We Are Here
We want to offer a transformational opportunity for your child vs. the (often times) transactional experience of AAU. In addition, we want to provide a positive experience while learning from high quality coaches.
