Training and Education

Team-Up training staff

Meet the team: Training Specialists Suzanne Sillett and Cory Wechsler alongside Training Director Ed Center.

Delivered in an engaging style, Team-Up for Youth's training curriculum tackles the tough issues in contemporary youth sports.

Combining stimulating presentations with interactive exercises and role-playing, our training staff demonstrates how youth development principles are effectively applied in the field.

As a result, Team-Up training courses and consulting services provide ideas and inspirations that you can immediately put to work in your own programs. Read recent reviews.

Core Principles

We believe high-quality sports programs have the powerful potential to help young people become successful adults. So Team-Up strives to help community-based sports organizations improve and implement programs that are centered on the well-being and healthy development of youth participants.

From that point of view, we developed the Building Blocks for Quality Youth Sports -- a set of research-based principles which illustrate the experiences and relationships which characterize high-quality community sports programs. (Adapted from the Youth Development Framework for Practice by the Community Network for Youth Development.)

Training Events

Team-Up training courses are open to organizations that offer after-school physical activity programs in low-income neighborhoods around the San Francisco Bay Area.

On-site Workshops

Team-Up also offers a slate of workshop topics that we can deliver at your program site. Workshops are available to grantees, past training participants and to other youth sports organizations on a contract basis. Fees are determined on a sliding scale based on your organization’s budget.
