My name is Jenna Duncan. I graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a degree in liberal studies and have 18 units of early childhood education. I taught pre-school for 2 years and then moved on to Amazing Athletes which I have been teaching for 3 years. My teaching philosophy for Amazing Athletes involves body and kinesthetic learning with constructivism. Children learn the rules and fundamentals of 7 different sports while working on their gross motor skills - all while having FUN! I emphasize good sportsmanship and good times, and I hope that carries on through my students' athletic experiences.Jenna Duncan

Growing up in the San Gabriel Valley, my wife Kimberly and I know how important youth sports can be. We’ve spent our lives playing and associating with sports and outside activities. From baseball and softball to wrestling and water polo and everything in between.
We feel quite fortunate to able to spend our days sharing our passion and experience for sports with today’s youth. Owning and operating an Amazing Athletes franchise has been the best opportunity of our lives.
It is our commitment to each other, our local communities, the pre school organizations and all the young athletes that we can reach, to find the proper balance of learning the basic fundamentals of the 7 major ball sports we coach and simply having a lot of fun doing it!!
A FUN Amazing Athletes Education, that sounds pretty good to us!!Thank you,
