The core concept of UCA is to show our children another aspect of the Wide World of sports. There are more sports than just basketball, football, soccer, etc...Angling has been around for many, many years and the way people fish is always changing. UCA exposes the inner city youth to wide variety of techniques, fish types and places to fish. They run 20-25 trips a year which are fully staffed and organized by dedicated volunters, including volunteer "certified leaders" who are certified in basic First Aid and CPR.

We allowed each child to bring on there biggest fish to the scale and havie it weight for the chance at prizes. The age groups for the tournament 5-8 boys/girls 9-12 boys/girls and 13-18 boys/girls.
