Under Construction

Lake County Athletic Development was founded with a clear mission: to remove the barriers that prevent young people from participating in sports and to ensure that every child who wants to play has the opportunity to do so.

​

Many youth in our community are unable to join sports programs due to obstacles such as:

​

• Inability to afford league registration fees

• Lack of proper equipment

• Parents or guardians working during practice or game times

• Limited access to reliable transportation

• Inability to afford fuel for travel to practices and games

​

These challenges create long‑term gaps in access, development, and opportunity gaps LCAD is committed to closing.

​

Our Approach

LCAD is designed to directly address these barriers by:

​

• Covering league fees for participating youth

• Providing essential sports equipment

• Developing a transportation support system, including future dedicated drivers

• Offering gas cards to families who have transportation but struggle with fuel costs

Our goal is to ensure that no child is excluded from sports due to financial or logistical limitations.

​

Long Term Vision

​

We envision establishing a 50,000 square foot training facility that will serve as a comprehensive development center for young athletes. This facility will include:

• Sport specific training spaces

• Mental health and wellness resources

• Nutritional education and meal‑prep instruction

​

By integrating physical training with mental and nutritional support, we aim to develop well rounded athletes prepared for success both on and off the field.

​

Future Impact

​

Over the next 5 to 10 years, LCAD aims to become one of the top five employers here in Lake County, while continuing to provide free, high quality athletic training to local youth. Our long term commitment is to strengthen the community, expand opportunities, and ensure that every child who wants to play sports has the support they need to thrive.
