Before You Join the Comets Family...
We know how important it is to trust the people guiding your child’s growth. Our FAQs page answers the most common questions parents ask — from safety and staff qualifications to registration details and what a typical day looks like — so you can feel confident every step of the way.
What type of company is Austin Comets?
Austin Comets Athletics (ACA) is a youth sports organization that helps children develop athletic skills, character, and confidence through fun, structured programs rooted in teamwork, mentorship, and faith-based values. We believe sports can transform lives both on and off the field.
How do you mentor kids, and how will this program benefit my child?
At Austin Comets Athletics LLC, mentoring is at the core of everything we do. Our approach begins with welcoming and supporting youth who may feel overlooked or misunderstood—providing them equal opportunities for success through encouragement, structure, and genuine care.
We create a safe, fun, and trusting environment where relationships can grow. Our mentoring coaches use “teachable moments” on and off the court to help young athletes develop essential life skills like impulse control, responsibility, and resilience. These lessons often happen naturally—during practices, team rides, home visits, and even casual conversations.
As athletes progress, they’re challenged through competitive play, leadership opportunities, and team accountability. Our ultimate goal is to help every participant become not only a stronger athlete but a confident, responsible, and compassionate young person ready to impact their community and, potentially, earn college scholarships.
