ABOUT US

​

As a father of young boys, our founder, Paul Bryant quickly recognized that families in the Coshocton area needed more local opportunities for sports, recreation, and positive community involvement. Specifically, Paul wanted a place for his children to play soccer. Growing up, Paul learned the importance of hard work, connection, and having supportive places where people feel encouraged to grow. He also understood firsthand how access to safe and active environments can shape all lives, young and old, in meaningful ways.

​

Driven by that vision, Paul founded Kids America — not just as a sports facility for youth, but as a welcoming place for people of all ages to come together.  Today, Kids America is much more than a recreation center. It is a place where children gain confidence, adults improve their health, friendships are formed, and community is strengthened every day. Whether someone comes to play sports, exercise, walk the track, attend a class, or simply connect with others, Kids America continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the individuals and families it serves.

​

At its heart, Kids America was inspired by a simple but powerful idea: to create a place where people of all generations could stay active, build relationships, and feel part of a stronger community.
