MY CITY ALLSTARS
This is Your Summer, Every Summer
My City Allstars sports day camps introduce kids to a diverse range of sports and activities from track, football and yoga, to soccer and hip hop dance. Our programming is designed to develop skills, teamwork, and expand your child’s interests and experience. Currently, a popular trend is to have kids specialize in a sport at a young age, but research has proven this isn’t necessarily good for children physically, socially, or emotionally. In addition, multi-sports camps give parents a cost effective way to expose their kids to a variety of activities without having to invest the time or money in equipment.
Our Values
Our Mission
We strive to unite communities through the power of play.
Our Vision
Our vision is to instill a life-long love of fitness and exercise in all kids. Participants are exposed to a variety of sports and activities that they might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in, or try. They learn to appreciate all sports, not just the handful of options that may be readily available outside of camp or in which they may already excel. Additionally, “wear and tear” on these young athletes is limited due to the cross-training nature of schedules and variability of activities.

A recent national study published in 2022 concluded that kids (ages 9–13) who participated in group and team sports have a significantly lower risk of developing mental health difficulties (i.e., anxiety, depression, withdrawal, social problems, attention problems, etc.) compared to children who only play individual sports or no sports at all. This research substantiates the need for group athletic opportunities, such as those provided by My City Allstars in the positive development of school-aged children.

COMPANY HISTORY
My City Allstars was founded by Tamar Hill. In 2001, Tamar started the Spartan Allstars Girls Basketball Camp, a half-day girls basketball camp that ran successfully for years. Her favorite part of the camp was that her current and former players helped teach skills to the future players. By coaching the game themselves, it made them better players and improved their confidence.
In the summer of 2011, while serving as the high school's athletic director, it dawned on her that not all sports had the opportunity to host a camp. She also noted that many parents in her community both had to work and needed full-day care for their children in the summer. Her experiences as an overnight camp counselor in New Hampshire during college came flooding back, and she was inspired! She talked to the other coaches on campus about joining in and the plan was set into motion.
In 2012, Spartan Allstars officially opened as a full day, coed, multi-sports day camp. The camp quickly grew into the most popular sports camp in Southern California! Everywhere in the country she travels, when parents learn about her camp, they ask her when she will open a camp in their neighborhood.
