Next Level Sports (NLS®) develops the leadership potential of today's youth to achieve their personal best in academics and sports through skill-based programs that teaches positive values, wellness, responsibility, conflict resolution, and goal setting.

Primary goal for NLS® is to make a difference. It's not just about a particular sport. Through playing sports, there are life lessons participants learn about perseverance, leadership, working with people, and taking action. NLS® is a culmination of several experiences and lessons learned throughout the years rolled into a holistic winning program.

NLS History

Before NLS® became NLS®  we were Next Level Flag Football in the Fall of 2006.  Kyle Helton founded the concept of NLS® and quickly realized that if it were to work, he’d need a lot of help.  With the help of childhood friends like Arnold Haynes, Kevin Mobley, Jerome Reynolds, Chris Long and a host of others, they collectively revived experiences from their youth and adopted them into NLS. 

Planning for NL Flag began around a kitchen table and going in after 1st season, there were 63 participants who took a chance with NL Flag and became raving fans.  Within 2 years NL Flag adopted basketball program from Rosemont Villanova Basketball Assoc., created additional programs such as Track n Field, Sport Clinics, and Youth Referee program.  And the original number of 63 participants expanded to an organization providing services to approximately 1000 youth participants per year! To current day, NLS® remains committed to making a difference and inspiring our youth to Shatter The Expectation.
