Amazing Athletes Sports & Education Programs

We are thrilled to be chosen as the provider of after-school enrichment programs for PS166. Our company, Amazing Athletes Sports & Education Programs (www.amazingathletes.com), is the leading educational sports program in the country, positively impacting over 250,000 children annually through sports and enrichment activities. We are also the proud owners of Super Soccer Stars, which was founded on the Upper West Side 22 years ago. Our offices are conveniently located on 89th and Columbus, just around the corner from PS166.

As parents ourselves - my partner Carmen Bellavia, who is the Chief Technology Officer (and a PS166 parent), and myself, the CEO and a thirteen-year resident of the Upper West Side - we are committed to providing the diversity of programming PS166 children have enjoyed, such as musical theater, dance, arts, coding, study hall, and chess. 

We understand the importance of maintaining continuity of pricing, program options, and, whenever possible, instructors and teachers. We are in daily communication with the school administration to ensure a seamless transition.

Should you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to email us at ps166@amazingathletes.com. We value your input and look forward to building a strong partnership to deliver exceptional enrichment programming.

Best,

-Adam Geisler
