Our Mission
Our mission is to provide support to Indiana high school student athletes that are underserved by the current system that is in place. Far too many of our student athletes have equipment that does not provide the safety they deserve; they operate in facilities that only provide the bare minimum of support; and they are not provided with training and educational opportunities that maximize their scholastic athletic experience. It has been proven that physical exercise has a positive impact on academic performance. Students who complete high school have much higher economic potential than those who drop out. Conversely, those who drop out are more likely to live in poverty, face substance abuse and numerous other social problems. We intend to provide services that will keep more students in athletic, thus increasing their chance to have a successful adulthood.
Matthews Sports Group will provide the needed support in the below categories:
Financial Support
