Sport as a birthright.
KinFlow was created with the premise that inclusive, player-centered sports are essential for healthy minds, bodies and communities. We fuse physical and mental fitness into an immersive sporting experience for all ages, genders and skill levels alike.
Commitment to Inclusivity
KinFlow recognizes that inclusion is about making sure our program reflects the diversity of the various local communities we serve, and we are committed to working towards achieving this.
We commit to developing clear strategies and policies to achieve inclusion and remove discrimination within our program, and to establishing clear targets for measuring success.
We commit to promoting a safe, welcoming and respectful culture where everyone feels welcome and accepted regardless of age, gender, ability, socio economic status or cultural, ethnic or religious background.
We commit to ensuring our sport activities consider the individual needs of participants and are appropriate to the level of development and skill. Where necessary we will make adaptations and modifications to cater for individual needs.
From the Founder
As a young boy I would play basketball nearly every day until it was too dark to see the hoop. It was my greatest joy to dance freely on the court and enter what I later understood as flow states — those peak moments when we feel and perform our best. Athletes call it the "zone," musicians call it the "pocket," inventors call it a "Eureka moment." I revered that state and gained not only deep joy but lasting benefits — focus, emotional intelligence, confidence.
I also came from a hyper-competitive upbringing. A coach ridiculed me until I quit basketball my senior year with a broken heart and shattered confidence. It took almost a decade to pick up a ball again. Over 70% of American youth quit sports by 13 — the pressures placed on kids by parents and coaches are a major driving force.
On December 26th, 2017, my friend Kurt and I were playing Aerobie catch and something clicked. I let go of technique and played free like the 10-year-old that once danced with a basketball. Time froze. I disappeared into the bliss of play. That was the birthday of KinFlow.
The name comes from three Kin's: Kindred (relationship), Kinetic (motion), Kinesthetic (the body's intelligence) — fused with Flow (a current or stream). Together: Moving as One.
We see youth sport as a universal bridge for diverse cultures around the world. A place to gather in healthy relations. With the greatest joy, I share KinFlow with You, Your Community, and the World.
