Our Mission Together
From Liz Martino-Durbano
Liz Martino-Durbano is the Founder of Level Up Athletics Academy. Growing up, Liz faced mental health challenges that hindered her education + childhood experiences. When she became an elementary school teacher in 2015, she realized that many students also faced similar challenges.
With the evolution of the school system, classrooms + the wide range of neurodiverse children, students now more than ever, need mental resilience. Through our social-emotional learning strategies + mindfulness practices, we do just that!
The vision of Level Up Athletics Academy is to intervene by offering programming for the whole community; students, teachers, parents, community groups + sport teams. We take a communal approach to create a village of support + knowledge because we truly are stronger together.
