Orange Arrow trains and supports college student-athletes to coach grade school student-athletes off the field. Participants develop the skills, healthy dispositions, and expanded social connections that help them aim for success in the game of life.
College student-athletes gain confidence as leaders and learn by coaching off-field performance. Grade school student-athletes engage directly with their mentors through a competition-based curriculum that focuses on:
Skill Development
related to communication, collaboration,
and leadership
Healthy Dispositions
like kindness, social intelligence, and self-control
Social Connectivity
broadened comfort zones, and diverse, cross generational relationships
OA programs are housed in college athletic departments at Power 5 conference universities.
Deep community partnerships support year-round programming in-person or virtually.

TRAINING TABLE
“In a culture that pushes sports and academics, other important facets of child development are often overlooked. OA closes this gap while emphasizing essential values such as hard-work, determination, and leadership in a competitive team-oriented environment. I’m thankful OA has given my teammates and me a platform to make our community a better place.”
