Welcome to the ZLAA!
At Zoe' Leadership Academy Athletics (ZLAA) our objective is to provide our student athletes with an opportunity to not only play sports but get to know other student athletes as well. This grant will afford our students and the community the ability to unify through comradery.
Our goal is to provide students with a well-rounded athletic experience, empower students athletes to become college ready, provide students with scholarship opportunities, and encourage them to become better through unity and fellowship.
ZLAA is one filled with a strong Christian values and fueled by faith. We believe in and follow the three characteristics of Sportsmanship, Integrity, and Fair Play. Also as a member of Christian Faith Athletics, we believe in and follow the teachings of Christ in all of our athletic endeavors as we share our testimony through our play. With rigorous academic requirements of all athletes passing every class and maintaining a “B” average, our student athletes excel both on and off the field.
The Zoe’ Leadership Academy Athletic Department (ZLAA) believes in and follows the following statements:
"Coaching is a high-pressure job. Whether the pressure to win is coming from the school or community or whether it is self-induced by the coach doesn’t lessen its effect. Every coach wants his team to be successful. Every coach who wears his whistle is a student of the game he coaches. The coach has probably spent years developing a philosophy and a “teaching style.” The average workweek for a high school coach is 25-35 hours on coaching duties alone. Out-of-season (there is never an offseason) the good coaches attend clinics, read books, watch videos, and attend college spring practices.
Many coaches, because of their competitive natures, are emotional and intense. Fans see these coaches as “screamers” who spend too much of their time yelling and chastising players. But the great majority of these coaches are completely loyal to their athletes. They are strong advocates and willing mentors for all of their players. Parents, in particular, can be critical of coaches. A coach has perhaps 50+ players and 10 assistant coaches to consider with every decision he makes. The greater good of the football program itself is a prime consideration. Parents, on the other hand, are concerned about only one athlete. When their son is unhappy or the parent believes that he isn’t being treated fairly, conflicts can occur. Too many fine coaches have left the sidelines because of parental interference."
