Welcome to the MOWA Choctaw Youth Sports Association, also known as MWC Sports. We are a vital part of the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians community, dedicated to fostering the holistic development of our youth through the power of sports. Located in northern Mobile County and southern Washington County in southwestern Alabama, our program serves the ancestral communities of Mount Vernon, McIntosh, and Citronelle Alabama.
Our mission is to provide a supportive and enriching environement where MOWA Choctaw youth, as well as youth from the surrounding communities, can thrive physically, mentally, and culturally.
Through our organized sports, we aim to:
Promote Physical Well-being: Encourage active lifestyles, teach fundamental athletic skills, and instill habits for lifelong health.
Cultivate Character and Leadership: Develop essential life skills such as teamwork, discipline, resilience, sportsmanship, and leadership.
Strengthen Community Bonds: Create opportunities for tribal members and local neighbors to connect, collaborate, and celebrate together.
Honor Cultural Heritage: Integrate traditional values and foster a sense of identity and pride in our MOWA Choctaw heritage within a contemporary sports context.
The MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians have a rich history of resilience and cultural preservation. Our youth sports initiatives are a natural extension of the Tribe's broader commitment to enhancing the overall quality of life for its people. From the availability of facilities like our Sportsplex, which includes fields for baseball/softball, football, soccer, and gym facilities for basketball, to the dedication of our volunteers and coaches, our program reflects a community-centered approach to youth-development.
We believe that participation in sports offers more than just physical exercise; it builds confidence, teaches perseverance, and provides a positive outlet for our young people to grow and express themselves. Our vision is to empower the next generation of MOWA Choctaw leaders, athletes, and community members.
MOWA Choctaw Youth Sports offers a range of recreational programs designed to engage children and young adults of various ages and interests.
