More Than a Franchise: A Family’s Promise to Colorado

Meet the Makelas

Our journey with Skyhawks began in 2017 — but the story actually started a few years earlier. We were Skyhawks–SuperTots parents before we were franchise owners.

In 2015, our daughter Macie (now 12) started SoccerTots at age 2. She only played when dad brought her to class — apparently sitting in mom’s lap counted as “playing” soccer! Our older daughter, Avery (now 15) wanted to play baseball at age 5, but with two busy work schedules and multiple practices and games per that just wasn’t realistic. Instead, she joined Skyhawks Mini-Hawk for a week and got to learn baseball, basketball, and soccer — so much more fun than sticking to one sport! And a lot less time for us.

As the girls continued to explore sports, mom thought coaching might be the perfect part-time job while dad continued to travel. Little did we know the plan would shift from coaching a few classes to buying the entire state of Colorado! We jumped in fully.

Back then, about 2,500 kids participated in Skyhawks–SuperTots programs across Colorado. Today, more than 7,000 kids learn, grow, and laugh with us every year — and we couldn’t be more grateful. We’ve also had the joy of working with more than 1,000 incredible coaches who inspire us daily. Watching them grow into careers in teaching, sports medicine, pro sports, marketing, human resources, and higher-level coaching has been amazing.

We live right here in Northern Colorado, near Longmont. When we’re not running the business, you’ll find us cheering on Avery and Macie in volleyball, music, piano and theatre — and laughing a lot along the way. Watching them, and all the kids in our programs, gain confidence, make friends, and discover what they love about being active is what drives us every single day.

We’re so thankful to live our mission: Connect with INTENTION, IGNITE a Spark, and Leave an IMPRINT! We really do have the coolest jobs in the world!

The Mission Triad: Our Operating System

From first kicks, throws and baskets to confident game play-scrimmages, Skyhawks-SuperTots Sports Colorado is the pathway to introduce kids, ages 2-14, to sports. We Teach Life Skills through Sports helping kids grow their confidence and embrace teamwork while creating a fun environment. We offer the most youth programs in the state including year-round classes and camps in 13 different sports in a variety of program formats, plus other non-sport active programs that allow your kids to find what they’re passionate about playing.

Connect with INTENTION

Effective coaching requires more than knowledge; it requires connection. Our curriculum is designed to meet children at their specific developmental stage. Whether it is using "guided discovery" to teach a 2-year-old color recognition during SoccerTots or teaching a 10-year-old the mechanics of a pick-and-roll, the connection is deliberate. We hire Paid Coaches—never random volunteers—who undergo 20+ hours of training to ensure they can make these connections safely and effectively.

IGNITE a Spark

The goal of youth sports should be engagement, not just exhaustion. We define success by the "Spark"—that moment of enthusiasm when a child realizes they can do it. By using age-appropriate equipment (like foam balls and lowered hoops) and a "play-first" approach, we remove the fear of failure. This ignites a lifelong love for physical activity that outlasts the season.

Leave an IMPRINT

Sports are the vehicle; character is the destination. We strive to leave a lasting mark on a child’s self-esteem. We recognize traits like "Respect," "Teamwork," and "Resilience" alongside athletic achievement. When a child leaves our field, they carry an internal imprint of confidence that translates to the classroom and the community.

The Skyhawks Experience

When you step onto a Skyhawks field in Northern Colorado, Denver, Western Colorado, or Colorado Springs, the atmosphere is distinct. It does not feel like a chaotic recess; it feels like a spirited classroom without walls.

Initial conversation – Our coaches will talk with the child to understand the issue.
Time-out – If behavior persists, the child will take a brief timeout to reset.
Parent involvement – If challenges continue, the on-site director will contact the parent to discuss solutions.

In rare cases, a participant may be removed from the program due to repeated or severe behavior issues.

We have a zero-tolerance policy for bullying in any form, including:

✔ Physical or verbal abuse
✔ Racist or discriminatory behavior

If an incident occurs, parents will be notified immediately. If bullying continues, the child may be removed from the program.

We play rain or shine! However, in the case of severe weather, we may postpone or cancel a session for safety reasons. To check for cancellations, please contact your program director.

We do not offer refunds for weather-related cancellations.

If air quality is poor before the start of a session, we will:

✔ Move activities indoors (if possible)
✔ Modify activities to minimize exertion
✔ Take more breaks and limit time outside

If conditions worsen during a session, we will adjust activities accordingly. If we must cancel, parents will be notified as soon as possible.

We do not offer refunds for air-quality-related cancellations.

Some local recreation centers and city programs charge non-resident fees for participants who live outside their service area. These fees are set by the host city, not by Skyhawks.

If you believe you were charged a non-resident fee in error, please contact the local host organization to clarify city boundaries and residency requirements.
