My child's experience with the Phoenix Bobcats has been extremely positive. Our daughter has be apart of this club for the past four years. Coach Jones is a one of a kind person who truly cares about all of his athletes. He puts his heart and soul into the club and takes the time to get to know each athlete. He cares about what they do on and off the track. Coach Jones makes a point to help foster outstanding character in his athletes and places importance on a family atmosphere where all children are respected and every accomplishment is celebrated. Incredibly, he also is able to maintain high expectations and championship level caliber training. This team cultivates National Champions each year in a variety of events. I would highly recommend this club to both novice and experienced athletes interested in track and field.
Our daughter joined the Bobcats when she was seven years old. She had never run before and was nervous, the coaches and teammates made her feel welcome instantly.
A week after joining the Bobcats, her three year old brother was diagnosed with cancer - our entire family felt like we could barley hang on, cancer is a hurricane and we were in the middle. Our daughter found comfort and stability in running. She could lose herself in a race and find support in her teammates and her coaches. No matter what was happening in the hurricane of cancer- track was always her constant; her lighthouse on the rocky shore.
With the support of her coaches, she made so much growth and progress as a person (and a runner). The positive influence that her coaches and teammates have had in her life has been invaluable and we are forever grateful.
