Overview
Mission
The organization's mission is to prepare students for opportunities available at the intersection of technology and sports.
What it reported doing in 2025
Tech exposure and access through mentoring (team) is preparing students for the bounty of career opportunities available at the intersection of sports and technology. While sports are a powerful outlet for promoting teamwork, responsibility, and passion, not all paths lead to a professional sports career. Team inc. Is committed to creating alternative paths for these youths to thrive, by educating them on and connecting them with, opportunities to work in sports technology. We provide tech training to students and empower them to acquire skills that can help them perform. Team prepares the underserved youth to contribute to the 21st century global economy. Team provides a proven model that builds academic and technical coding skills by fostering community-driven, culturally relevant, real-world learning. Team core programs include 5 and 10 hour bootcamps/workshops and a 36 hour intensive program that is comprehensive and focused on stem, with a specific focus on basic coding and design, video coding, and data analytics (among other skills). Additionally, students prepare for an industry certification exam that connects them to job opportunities immediately by working in roles as video and data analysis for high school, college, and professional sports teams. 80% of core program graduates have earned an industry certification, making them the youngest certified users of an industry leading software. Team alumni successfully secure mentoring and internship opportunites with nba operations departments, high school or college athletic departments and community organizations, establishing their professional reputation and future career opportunities.
