BreakAway Community Development

This summer, we put in the WORK. 💨💪🏽

Our Breakaway Speed & Agility Class, held at T&C Fitness Club in partnership with Starts Up Front, brought athletes together for 4 weeks of training focused on speed, quickness, footwork, and athletic development.

And the best part? It was completely FREE to our community 🙌🏽

We’re proud to work together to create opportunities for young athletes to train, compete, build confidence, and get better.

Here’s a look at one of our summer workouts. Keep working. Keep growing. BREAKAWAY.

SNAP recipients can also now use this screener to see if they are subject to, meeting, or may be eligible for an exemption from SNAP Work Requirements: https://aberp.illinois.gov/screener/ABAWD?lang=EN
