Tools for Sports ParentsExplore Summer Camps

Trusted by families who want sports to build resilience, character, and long-term love of the game for their kids.

Sports are shaping our kids—whether we’re intentional about it or not.

Most parents sign their kids up for sports with the hope that it will build confidence, discipline, and character. But for many families, something shifts along the way.

  • Pressure replaces joy.
  • Confidence becomes tied to performance.
  • Losses feel overwhelming.
  • Burnout shows up earlier than expected.

Parents are left wondering how to support their child without pushing too hard—and how to help them compete while staying grounded.

At Kuyper Sports, we believe sports can be a powerful place for growth—not just in how kids play, but in who they’re becoming.

When guided well, we believe sports can help kids:

  • Build confidence through effort, not outcomes
  • Learn resilience in both wins and losses
  • Regulate emotions under pressure
  • Compete hard while staying connected to who they are
  • And so much more

This belief is at the heart of everything we do.

How Kuyper Sports is helping kids become healthy competitors:

Because raising a healthy athlete doesn’t happen in one moment—it happens over time.

Kuyper Sports began and grew from our own story—as athletes and as parents.

Hey, I'm Shane Kuyper-- My wife Coley and I have spent years in and around competitive sports, and now we’re walking it alongside our seven kids as they grow up in youth athletics. We’ve seen the joy sports can bring, and we’ve felt the pressure, emotional highs and lows, and burnout that can quietly creep in too.

Through our own experiences, we’ve learned how powerful sports can be when they’re guided well—and how important it is for kids to be supported as whole humans, not just athletes.

Kuyper Sports exists because we believe there’s a better way. A way where sports help kids grow in confidence, resilience, and character—learning through trial and error, cheering others on, and staying connected to who they are.

Everything we offer is shaped by what we’re living and learning as a family, with a deep desire to help parents navigate youth sports in a healthier, more hopeful way.
