The Native Youth Olympics event is a hybrid of force and form with a picturesque pinnacle.
Boys and girls compete on seperate sides of the court during the Alaskan High Kick on the first day of the Native Youth Olympics Senior Games at the Alaska Airlines Center on Thursday, April 20, 2023.
“The Alaskan high kick is the greatest example of body control among all the games because you really have to listen to your entire body,” Juneau coach Kyle Worl said. “Your hand position, your elbow position, your shoulder, your head, your chest, your hips. There’s so much detail to it.” Colton Paul of Kipnuk and competing for Mt. Edgecumbe taps the ball during his winning kick of 92" on the first day of the Native Youth Olympics Senior Games at the Alaska Airlines Center on Thursday, April 20, 2023.
The 15-year-old from Unalaska paused to collect his thoughts on the event Thursday afternoon as he watched fellow competitors practicing off the side of the main floor at Alaska Airlines Center.
