Like minded families, Athletes, Coaches, and leaders celebrated the end of a successful season filled with hard work and camaraderie through games, live entertainment, and food.
BOCA RATON, FL – May 27, 2026 – /Prowly/
Premier youth athletics and leadership organization Dragons Elite Athletics (“Dragons Elite”) successfully held its first ever Dragons Day event last Thursday, May 21st. This special evening was all about celebrating the incredible Dragons Elite athletes and the amazing families and coaches who support them every step of the way.
Held in the South County Regional Park baseball fields, the evening started out with a brief kickoff message delivered by Dragons Elite Executive, Louis Hernandez, Jr.
“I've been a global CEO for almost thirty years, and everybody asks me about leadership. I tell them that almost everything I know about leading, I learned on freshly cut grass — through sports like soccer, baseball and football. Dragons Elite was created because, as parents ourselves, we wanted to get the best value for the incredible time and money we spend on youth athletics. Beyond the journey of personal development through professional guidance, we want athletes to learn leadership by being part of and committed to a larger community,” Hernandez said. “Youth sports is an ideal platform for strong physical and mental health as well as lifelong leadership attributes.”

Attendees to the event were able to participate in multiple games both athletic and not athletic, join a raffle for prizes, and indulge in delicious food – all while celebrating an incredible year of growth spent as part of the Dragons Elite community!
Dragons Day was the biggest community celebration of the season, bringing together hundreds of athletes, families, and team spirit built throughout the year.
“It has been an amazing year for Dragons Elite! We are incredibly grateful for the growth of our community, which is why we created Dragons Day to celebrate not just our athletes but the family and coaches who have continued to support them through every step of their journey,” says Sarah Hernandez, Founder and VP of Teams at Dragons Elite Athletics.
Dragons Day emphasizes a different model for youth development. It’s part of a larger vision which places organized and professionally run youth athletics with a flexible private school accredited at the highest level through Dragons Elite Athletics and Dragons Academy.
Dragons Elite has captured the imagination of families who see youth athletics as a key part of a healthy mental and physical lifestyle and a platform for leadership development. Using a structured development program, professional coaches, access to select and national teams, multiple facilities, sports agency services, and a “no outside guest player” travel team policy, Dragons Elite has created a powerful development platform on and off the field that’s free of bias and politics, allowing families to drive a better value for their time and money.
Players enter full year commitments, giving them access to professional coaching and a team to rely on as they continue to develop. They also learn commitment to each other and the team while embracing the different personalities in every team. Dragons Elite’s proprietary development method and emphasis on community engagement have driven interest in the communities it serves.
Designed to be a better alternative to traditional structured learning, homeschooling or virtual schools, Dragons Academy is a private school that emphasizes one to one in person teaching, emphasizing key accredited topics such as math, science, history, reading comprehension, and critical thinking with no reliance on federal or state funding impacting their curriculum. Students may also access K-12 private academy scholarships and University Scholarships through an existing partnership with For A Bright Future Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Dragons Elite Executive Louis Hernandez, Jr., dedicated to supporting the needs of underserved students.
Together with Dragons Elite, marks a framework to create more dynamic and powerful leaders for the next generation.
