Delwar Ansar,
Founder, Michigan Tigers Youth Sports Club
This is Delwar Ansar, the visionary behind the Michigan Tigers Youth Sports Club. My journey has been shaped by an unwavering commitment to sports and a deep desire to enhance the physical and mental well-being of our youth through athletic pursuits.
Since 2013, I have been intimately involved with the young people of Michigan, understanding the unique challenges they face in this ever-evolving digital age. The allure of internet-driven distractions, especially video games, can hinder their physical development and impede their ability to socialize effectively. Witnessing this growing concern, my mission has been to inspire our children to step out onto the field and embrace the countless opportunities for growth that sports can offer.
The Michigan Tigers Youth Sports Club was born out of a decisive step taken on July 10, 2021. Our club was created with a clear vision – to nurture the physical and mental well-being of our young generation. We recognized the need to bridge the gap for immigrant youths in Michigan who often miss out on the chance to participate in the beloved sports of their home countries.
While football and basketball may dominate the sports landscape in the United States, we, at the Michigan Tigers Youth Sports Club, embrace and celebrate the sports cherished by our immigrant Michiganders – Badminton, Cricket, Soccer, and Volleyball. We firmly believe that inclusivity is the cornerstone of our success. We warmly welcome both non-sporting youths and those already immersed in different athletic activities to explore a diverse range of sports.
At our club, we understand that every individual possesses unique talents, waiting to be unearthed. Our dedicated team of coaches and mentors provide comprehensive training and unwavering support to help our youth discover their potential, whether it lies in Soccer, Cricket, or any other sport they choose. Our goal is to empower them to develop not just as athletes but as well-rounded individuals.
As part of our commitment to nurturing young talents, we proudly host several leagues annually. These leagues provide a platform for our youth to showcase their skills and earn well-deserved recognition and rewards. Beyond the thrill of competition, we emphasize the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, and leadership. Our aim is to instill qualities that will serve them well in all aspects of life.
Looking toward the future, I wholeheartedly pledge to continue dedicating myself to the Michigan Tigers Youth Sports Club. Our journey has only just begun, and I assure you that we will go above and beyond to ensure a healthy and meaningful sports environment for our precious youth. Together, let us foster a community that embraces the power of sports to shape the lives of our young generation positively.
We envision a future where our youth are not merely spectators of the world but active participants, confident in their abilities, and empowered to tackle any challenge that comes their way. The Michigan Tigers Youth Sports Club is not just about sports; it is a platform for personal growth, camaraderie, and building lasting friendships.
