About us

Two brothers, four younger siblings, and a lot of practice

Weekend Warriors started with a simple frustration: kids in our own house were spending perfect Florida weekends staring at screens.

Xander Black, and I'm 18 years old. Originally from Virginia, I moved to Florida during COVID, and one thing has always been constant throughout my life: I've loved being around kids.

Growing up in a big family meant I was always surrounded by younger siblings and cousins. From an early age, I was helping look after them, playing games, keeping them entertained, and making sure they were having fun while staying safe. It never felt like something I had to do. I really enjoy it.

I'm an active person who loves sports and outdoor activities. Whether it's a water balloon fight or just running around outside, I enjoy creating experiences kids remember long after the day is over. I think that's why kids connect with me so naturally. I still have that playful energy that lets me join in on the fun, but I also understand the responsibility that comes with it.

Weekend Warriors was created because I wanted to give kids exciting, screen-free adventures they'll talk about all week, and to give parents complete confidence that their children are in caring, responsible hands.

My goal is simple: safe, fun, unforgettable experiences where kids stay active, make new friends, and go home smiling. I can't wait to meet your family and welcome your child to the next Weekend Warriors adventure.

Growing up, I was always outside. From a young age, I played just about every sport I could—football, basketball, soccer, hockey, and more. Some of my best memories came from being outside, playing sports, competing, and spending time with friends. I truly believe those experiences helped shape me into the person I am today.

Now, at 19 years old, I see how much technology has become a part of kids' everyday lives. Phones, video games, and social media can easily take away from the time kids spend being active, outdoors, and connecting with others in person.

That is why my brother and I started Weekend Warriors. Our goal is simple: give kids something exciting to look forward to each weekend that gets them off their screens and outside having fun.

Through sports, games, and other activities, we want kids to stay active, make new friends, and learn important values like teamwork, kindness, confidence, sportsmanship, and respect. Most importantly, we want to create an environment where kids can just be kids—running around, competing, laughing, and making memories with their friends.

Beyond the activities

We help kids grow their confidence, give them advice, and speak greatness into them

Every weekend is a chance to build something bigger than a trophy. We talk to kids about effort, attitude, and believing in themselves. We mentor them through tough moments, celebrate their progress, and remind them who they can become. Our goal is that every child leaves feeling seen, encouraged, and a little more sure of themselves.

Build confidence

We push kids to try new things, lead their team, and celebrate progress over perfection.

Advice & mentorship

Real conversations about effort, attitude, and handling wins and losses the right way.

Speak greatness into them

We call out their strengths, remind them of their potential, and treat them like future leaders.

Our story

We grew up doing this

We come from a large family with four younger siblings—including a 12-year-old, a 10-year-old, and a 2-year-old little sister. For years, our weekends were already spent organizing games, breaking up arguments, packing snacks, and keeping everybody moving.

That's where Weekend Warriors came from. We know what a bored kid looks like, what a tired kid needs, and how to turn a random Saturday into the day they talk about all week. We also know exactly what a parent worries about—because we've been the ones in charge.

So we built the program we would have wanted: active, social, supervised, outdoors, and never the same weekend twice.

Family-run

Two brothers, one standard: treat every kid like our own siblings.

Always new

A different activity lineup and a surprise event every weekend.

Student-athletes

Coaches kids actually look up to, not babysitters on a phone.

Local roots

Parkland based, open to families across Deerfield, Boca, Coral Springs, and all of North Broward.

Our promise

Safety first, fun always

Small groups, constant supervision, signed sign-in and sign-out, dedicated water-watchers at the pool, and clear communication with every parent.

Try a single Saturday with no commitment. Most families book the next weekend before pick up is over.
