Life Athletix, Inc./Tucson Turf Elite Football

Life Athletix and Tucson Turf Elite Football (TTEF)'s mission is to teach life skills to young athletes in the areas of team building, communication, nutrition, social media usage/personal branding, Step Up Bystander intervention, community service, personal finances, the importance of education, and college readiness. We use twice-monthly skills and agility sessions and participation on Flag football and 7on7 football tournament teams as some of the tools for teaching those life skills.

Tucson Turf Elite Football (TTEF), Powered by Life Athletix, sponsors 7 youth flag football teams and two youth 7on7 teams. At least 150 youth athletes participate on the TTEF teams each year. Many more attend the open skills camps, clinics, and tournaments hosted by TTEF. The coaches in the program stress that Attitude and Effort are main components for success in anything. TTEF teams have been recognized at every tournament they attend as setting examples of good sportsmanship and great character. The success of the TTEF teams has fostered pride in the community and the desire of the student athletes to remain in school and become involved in their communities.
