"To improve the health and fitness, skill level, and overall athletic ability of young athletes; to inspire, motivate and enable young men and women to reject high risk behaviors; and to increase parental significance through strengthening the connection between parents and their children."

Backyard Drills^® was founded to address the need for a sports instructional DVD series that focuses on supporting and enriching parent and child relationships as well as developing athletic skills.

Initially focusing on fathers and sons, all Backyard Drills^® materials feature celebrity, processional sports figures giving hands-on, visual instruction and motivation that teaches parents how to coach and mentor their children involved in, or desiring to become involved in, both team and individual sports.

Through providing parents with the information and instruction necessary to become proficient in an arena that is important to their children: athletics and professional sports association, Backyard Drills’ instructional DVD series provides a fun method of mutual learning that is built upon common ground and enables an enjoyable and mutually beneficial way for parents and their children to spend quality time together.

Our goal is not only to improve the athletic skills, character and physical conditioning of young athletes, but also to coach parents in both communication and interaction skills that will strengthen families. Thus, all Backyard Drills^® materials are specifically developed and geared toward parental vs. professional audiences.

Initially, Backyard Drills^® has targeted football with the Backyard Drills^® Football Special Fundraising Edition. However, we will shortly begin production on Sports Editions to support more gender-neutral sports including soccer, golf, basketball, baseball, tennis, and softball.

The Greater Purpose:

There are a number of athletic skills development programs that are targeted at instructing coaches of sports teams or leaders of youth sports organizations on the mechanics of sports skills and organizational structures but they fall short of addressing the real issue.

We believe, there is a strong and increasing desire for parents to become more involved in the lives of their children. And, that this is driving a revolutionary shift in the amount of time that parents will be spending with their children.

In turn, we expect to see this drive widespread acceptance of, and appreciation for our unique approach. Through this, we will see more people motivated to get off the couch and out of the house. By getting out from in front of televisions screens, computer monitors and the allure of video games and getting into a true interactive environment, children, parents and families learn to  play and grow together.

The objective of the BYD^® approach is not only to improve the athletic skills, personal character and physical conditioning of young athletes, but also coach parents in the communication and interaction skills that will increase the level of communication between themselves and their children.

By helping their children become healthier and better competitors in a chosen sport, parents will be improving their children’s chances for success in life. And, by enjoying a healthy lifestyle and promoting outdoor activities, they will create and foster environments that encourage the interaction necessary to forge more positive and powerful lifelong bonds.

In short, we plan to lead the way in building Better Athletes, Better Children, Better Parents and, ultimately, a "Better World"! This is the real focus of the Backyard Drills^® solution and will represent the true measurement of our success.
