Anthony & Kelly Scuorzo, Owners, Owners
Anthony and Kelly were both born and raised in New Jersey. They have been married for 13 years and are the proud parents of two sons and a daughter. Anthony is an avid sports fan who enjoys playing organized sports in his spare time and coaching both of his son’s baseball teams.
After enrolling their oldest son Anthony in an Amazing Athletes class when he was just 3 years old, they noticed an immediate improvement in his self-confidence, gross motor skills and knowledge of sports. He absolutely loved his Amazing Athletes class! Seeing such a difference in their son made it an easy decision for them to become a part of the Amazing Athletes family.
Spending quality time as a family is one of the most important things to the Scuorzo family. They are an active family that enjoys spending time outdoors having fun at the beach, coaching their children on the field and playing sports. Being parents has shown them how important it is to set a good example by keeping an active healthy lifestyle.
They firmly believe that getting children involved in sports and fitness at an early age is very important for the physical and emotional development of children and that participating in Amazing Athletes will build their self-esteem, teach positive values as well as important life skills, all while having fun! Their experience as parents, passion for working with children and their love of sports and fitness make Amazing Athletes a perfect fit for the Scuorzos. They truly feel blessed to be able to do what they love, and are extremely proud to be a part of the Amazing Athletes family.
