Soul of the South Sports

About

Founded in 2022 by a firefighter and an educator, Soul of the South Sports is a sporting events organization focused on impacting the lives of the community through the promotion of athletic competition that provides scholarships for high school students. 

The director is an ex-athlete from high school and college while the president is a passionate educator focused on improving the lives of the youth. The experience of attending a higher educational institution on a scholarship is one the founders understand well. The director obtained a scholarship for athletics while their oldest child was granted a full academic and partial athletic scholarship. They hope each and every student can enjoy the comfort of being free from educational debt after graduation.  

Driven by their desire to create opportunities for today’s youth, they want to offer scholarships to students who have demonstrated academic excellence and leadership potential. Their values of teamwork, excellence, and authenticity — the "TEA" — aligns with their belief that everyone has the potential for greatness. Whether it's in academics, athletics, or a blend of both, they are certain that providing access to opportunities can lead to endless possibilities.

It is the inherent right of every student to have a multitude of options after graduation, and whatever their personal ambitions may be, they should strive to transform their dreams into a concrete reality by envisioning their aspirations (dream it), assemble (build it), and ultimately take ownership of them (own it).
