City Athletics Community Partners

City Athletics Community Partners (CACP) is a non-profit community based organization dedicated to improving the lives of Philadelphia youth through sports, fitness and community. Owned and operated by Curtis DeVeaux and Janea Jordon-DeVeaux, CACP is committed to giving back to Philadelphia’s youth.

Physical activity is in many ways a lost art for children today between lack of funding for gym programs in schools, the expensive cost of private run sports programs, and COVID related closures and quarantine requirements. CACP believes that by exposing young people to multiple sports early, we can ensure that kids find an activity that they truly enjoy, use and strengthen different parts of their bodies, and prevent burnout from sport specialization and overuse. In addition to sport development, we also focus on character development. Conflict resolution, self-image, leadership, and teamwork are some of the concepts that we intentionally connect to sport and play. As research shows, sports help an individual much more than in the physical aspects alone; sports build character while teaching and developing strategic thinking, analytical thinking, leadership skills, goal setting and risk taking, just to name a few. We aim to help build young leaders within our society and give them as much information as possible to be successful on and off the court or field.
