About Us
Youth Texas Teams is a youth-led nonprofit organization dedicated to helping young people thrive through sports, mental health, education, leadership, and opportunity. Founded by three young leaders who understand firsthand the influence sports can have on a young person’s life, Youth Texas Teams was created to give youth athletes the support, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed both on and off the field.
We believe the whole athlete matters. Success is not only measured by what happens during a game. It is also reflected in how young people manage challenges, care for their mental health, treat others, perform in school, make decisions about their future, and prepare for life beyond sports.
