INTRODUCTION
Leadership Through Athletics, Inc. is a 501(c) (3) public charity formed to teach the art of leadership using an athletic arena as the classroom. Our goal is to encourage participants to reach their highest potential athletically and academically. We believe the essential elements of character training, ethics and discipline are embodied in the concept of sportsmanship. The values learned in this facility, Leadership Gym, will be the basis for a vital and productive future. The goal of Leadership Through Athletics is to develop today's youths into tomorrow's leaders.We want to ensure our participants are prepared to leave high school either ready to join the workforce or prepared to attend college.

MISSION STATEMENT
LTA serves the Baltimore area by providing programs and opportunities that encourage leadership and values development, enhance youth educational experiences, and promote health and fitness.

PHILOSOPHY
Basketball and other team sports are played for fun but create the framework where important life lessons are learned and applied. During a game, teamwork creates a dynamic that elevates and transforms individual performance to achieve greatness.

This happens naturally if all participants have the same objectives and passion for what they do. It evaporates; however, without leaders guiding the effort and keeping everyone focused on the core values embodied in sportsmanship. Children learn the value of building common objectives within an ethical framework and begin to appreciate the game for more than just its physical activity. Knowledge gained when the spirit is intensely engaged is fun, and will last a lifetime. This will be the legacy of Leadership Through Athletics.
