Where the training leads
These medals grow out of weekly Saturday training with our Purple Kicks club. Our taekwondo athletes have also medaled at the national level, at NAPSPHIL. Read the NAPSPHIL story → · Meet our sports clubs →
More than medals
Taekwondo teaches children things a classroom can't always reach: discipline, respect for an opponent, and the courage to step onto the mat and try. For some children, it is also where a God-given gift for movement first shows itself. That is why we give these gifts room to grow, alongside our academics.
Congratulations to all our athletes! Thank you to coaches and to the families who brought their children to every training session. To God be the glory!
Every child has gifts worth discovering.
