CBTA TEAM Mission Statement

The CBTA TEAM goes beyond exceptional athletes and instructing. In a world of convenience and distractions, vital life skills are often left undeveloped. Through leadership experience and competitive sports training, we strive to build character, resilience, and a sense of purpose in our students. Through martial arts, the members will learn to have success in school, effective socialization, meaningful careers, and independent living.
