"It's better to build a Boy than to mend a Man."
Team ASAP is an after school program that focuses on reaching the at risk population of Elementary, Junior High and High School students in the Dallas area. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and ASAP stands for After School Athletics/Academics Program. Our gymnasium is located at 4440 Brown st. Dallas, TX 75219.
The students come after school to the 12,000 square foot recreational center in the heart of Dallas. The coaches help the kids with their homework, provide snacks, and play all sorts of different games. We also spend time teaching them about Jesus Christ and showing them a completely different way of life other than what they are used to, and what they are seeing in this world. Matthew Masterton founded Team ASAP in April of 2007 after the death of a young man he was mentoring named Edward Harris. He has recruited his friends and family to help volunteer as coaches and keep these wonderful young boys on the straight path, or as Matt says, "the good path."
At Team ASAP, the sports and tutoring programs are used to teach the next generation of young kids Biblical principles, the importance of education, and how to build healthy habits that will promote a quality and prosperous life.
Through this blog we hope to create more awareness about Team ASAP and provide people information regarding this wonderful organization. We will be posting stories, videos and pictures weekly and would love for everyone to become involved! Please contact TeamASAPDallas@gmail.com or call Matt Masterton at 214.843.7707 for more information on how to get involved with your time and/or your finances.
