Back in 2020, Coach Carlton noticed that most of the youth sports teams within the community were competition-focused and the main objective was to win games.  This practice left many eager children sitting on the sideline, never touching the ball or being  apart of any team.  

       When the primary focus is on winning, the player development side of youth sports suffers.” ~Coach Carlton

In 2021, University City Wildcats (UCW), opened its doors to its first group of young athletes.  Not only does UCW offers the youth a safe and supportive environment to develop as an athlete but also offers dynamic lifelong skill development. At UCW, we strive to give each child a fair opportunity to learn and grow as an athlete, all while helping them to build confidence and self-worth.  Our coaching team guides our youth in developing character, communication, teamwork, and leadership skills.

“Our goal is to support our athletes in becoming the best version of themselves.”
