Elevating Students Through Sports

Since 2005, we’ve been leveling the playing field, giving our kids the fundamental tools and opportunities needed to elevate what’s possible to succeed and navigate the future.

Our Programs

Our hands-on programs bring together students ages 5-12, educators, coaches, parents and sector professionals, on and off the field—to enrich and expand academic success.

“With us, failing school is not an option. We want to see how the kids progress in school—before they get onto the football field.”

Harlem Jets Coach Elloheim Miller
