The Story So Far
Your generosity is changing lives. Here is what your donation has made possible.
QUICK RECAP
WE'RE CHANGING
THE GAME
THE BELIEF
Sports provides a unique opportunity to invest in the lives of young men — specifically young men who are hard-working, driven, and goal oriented.
THE PROBLEM
Too often, the environment in youth sports is a corrupting influence on players. They are treated as commodities and influenced by low character people using them for their own gain. It's also a financially straining experience for their families.
THE SOLUTION
We created something new: a fully-scholarshiped, mentorship-driven program that puts as much emphasis on character development and personal maturity as it does on success on the court.
The results have been better than we hoped.
We're just getting started.
HOLD BACK THE TEARS
Play with Volume Up to Listen to Oliver's Story
Hear directly from Oliver Purcell's grandmother as she shares about the impact this experience has had on her grandson (whom she raises along with his two little brothers). Hear about the discipline this experience has generated in his life, leading to success on the court and, more importantly, in the classroom.
EXPECTATIONS
SHATTERED
Our 15U Team has had an incredible first season, leading to recognition as one of the top 20 teams in the state of Georgia out of HUNDREDS of teams. We are one of only 3 independent teams (not sponsored by a shoe company) to make the top 20.
Just getting started.
PERSONAL BREAKTHROUGHS
LJ McTeer
LJ McTeer, a rising sophomore, just got named one of the top 25 players in the state of Georgia in his class. His sustained success on the court combined with the unique mixture of development and exposure we've provided has led to a breakout Spring.
HITTING THE PAUSE BUTTON
June is an off-month for travel basketball because players will be playing for their high school teams (high school teams always play in June). We'll be back in July to finish out our travel season.
We won't have any new updates for a short while.

THANK YOU

We're raising the standard. Together.
