We can promote ourselves all we want,
but it only matters what the community thinks.
Check out a handful of testimonials from Class Athlete parents:

Why have you chosen Class Athlete to be a part of your lives?
Since the City of Casselberry dissolved their flag football league, I wondered what the alternative would be. It is pretty amazing that Roy and his trusted associates launched Class Athlete and took on the challenge. I couldn’t be happier to see these local business men succeed and show their big hearts toward their community and the kids. You guys are the best and I thank you for doing such a great job!
What about Class Athlete has made you stick with us when there are other options?
I am a big supporter and advocate for this league. You have reduced fees to see that all kids play in our challenged economy. That speaks volumes for the integrity and support you spread in the community. It will come back to you two-fold.
How has Class Athlete helped change your child in terms of confidence and outlook?
As a parent, I make sure my 2 sons commit and follow though to the end when part of an organized sport. You are an extension of that because you demonstrate high standards in your league. We will successfully raise our kids together!
Describe a positive memory that you or your family has had with Class Athlete.
The simple fact that my son’s come back season after season.
How has Class Athlete changed your child in the classroom?
My oldest son is a freshman at LHHS. He’s had some grade issues and I held him back from playing flag football. It was a tactic and incentive to get his grades up. His grades have improved and I couldn’t be prouder. Of course, it killed him too that his younger brother was playing and he wasn’t.

A lot of happy kids and families that are coming back for more….plus spreading the word in the community.

We have stayed with Class Athlete because the coaches are really interested in the kids. They not only teach the sport, but also sportsmanship and respect for others – teammates and opponents, parents and other adults. The coaches and Class Athlete staff use the same values in coaching as I have tried teaching my boys in life.

Two of my three sons work for Class Athlete each Saturday to set up goals and prepare the fields for games. This extra time spent with the Roy, Nick and Silvio has reinforced dependability and respect and has given them a start in learning life’s lessons on-the-job.

My boys know that they have to maintain good grades and respectful behavior in the classroom in order to continue playing sports. I’m certain they would avoid disruption to their extracurricular activities with Class Athlete at all costs. They don’t want to disappoint their coaches or teammates.

I look for Class Athlete to continue to grow as a league and positively influence more children. This can only lead to a positive future of our community and our schools as our children use the values learned with Class Athlete in their daily lives. I am thankful to have had such a wonderful group of coaches and staff, including referees, to help mold our children into productive adults with good morals and a sense of commitment to their children in the future.
