Our Mission
The mission of Proehlific Park lies in its play on the word "prolific": to nourish and be fruitful. Proehlific Park, a youth sports complex, is a safe and loving "home away from home" where youth in the Triad experience a disciplined, caring and learning atmosphere. This is accomplished through the P.O.W.E.R. of sport. (see below)
The vision of Proehlific Park is the whole child ~ physical, mental and spiritual components. This starts with an emphasis on recreational pick-up games, supervised open play and life lessons learned within those opportunities. The Academic Success Center is always available to members helping them optimize their scholastic achievements with access to 14 computers and professional tutoring. Life skills that focus specifically on emotional, mental and spiritual advancement are furthered through coaching, mentoring and FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) Huddles.
The option for sport-specific personal instruction, league and tournament play is also available. Proehlific Park epitomizes an encouraging environment that inspires purpose in a child's life and, above all, a place where kids can not only experience The POWER of Play, but learn the Skills to Succeed.
