"GET YOUR MIND RIGHT BY HIGHLIGHTING YOUR STRENGTHS AND ALWAYS WORKING ON YOUR
WEAKNESSES."



J. Martinez




HISTORY

As a former professional baseball player, I enjoyed playing all sports as a
kid.  My parents exposed me to all sports including basketball, football,
baseball, and soccer.  I truly enjoyed learning from each sport and how the body
movements and physical/mental challenges were so different.  I remember growing
up in my neighborhood with all my friends and on Saturday mornings we would play
all kinds of different sports like the ones mentioned above, also wiffleball and
kickball.  It was fun, competitive, and free. We made our own rules and settled
our own disagreements. 

 

Travel teams were unheard of, and everything was localized.  I never traveled
more than 20 miles to play any sport growing up. However, that is not the case
in today’s youth sports.  Many children and families are put at an extreme
disadvantage financially just for an opportunity to play a sport, not to mention
the professional instruction where each lesson costs an unrealistic amount of
money. Hourly rates for private coaching sessions can range from $50 to $200,
depending on the coach’s credentials and experience. There is no manual that
differentiates between the glorious aspects of youth sports and the predatory
ones. No one can fully explain how youth sports can monopolize a family’s world
until they’re in it.

 

That is why I started Ballers and Scholars, a non- profit 501 (c)(3)
organization.  For this reason, it’s heartbreaking to see talented kids miss out
on opportunities because their families can’t afford the costs. I found a way to
make youth sports more accessible and affordable for families in rural areas of
Pinal County.

 

The Ballers and Scholars organization will focus on providing opportunities for
the youth to develop in their sport and making that development fun. We will
teach our youth what it’s like to depend on their teammates just as they depend
on the coaching staff. Teaching accountability and creating confidence will be a
priority. The result will be that the youth will learn what working individually
and as a team can accomplish. This can be one small piece of a child’s
development in a small window of their life. For the goal of sending them on
their way to become productive citizens.
