The Tri-City Youth Group focuses on furthering the health and well-being of the children of our organization. We are a group of parents who use sports and competition to build character, community and family-based values; not just all-stars on the court.
With an emphasis on sports, we fully support the Positive Coaching Alliance and Positive Parenting Program movements in the growth of our youth.
This year's recipient of the Youth of the Year award is Jillian Higa. In Jillian's own words:
I will forever be grateful for all the valuable memories and lessons I've experienced throughout my Tri-City journey. Making lifelong friendships and learning the importance of teamwork will help guide me through the rest of my life. Tri-City has given me so many opportunities that have allowed me to become a better leader and increased responsibility. I'm honored to be this year's youth of the year and thankful for the influence the Tri-City program and community has had on me.
