Testimonies
Joey and Rikki ,
The news letter looks great ! Great progress in such a short amount of time ! And changing lives ! Thank you both and your coaches for your continued dedication, love , and perseverance. I know from first hand experience, with my son Matt , what a difference the Dream organization has made in his life ! Matt is currently pursuing his dream, playing collage basketball, a dream he has worked hard for from an early age but the strong finish in his last two years being a part the Dream family made the difference ! The strong competition and exposure along with coaching and mentoring by Joey and others developed Matt into a young man that a collage coach is looking for. Matt also has all A's and B's his first semester at collage! So , thank you Dream !
As for the financial needs with Dream , I would like to contribute 1,000.00 to help. I can understand the short fall due to Dream's continued goal to keep players cost low ( lower than any league in the area ! ) so more players and have the opportunity to play at this competitive level. Also I have seen first hand many occasions that kids and families who could not pay anything get scholarships to play for free and help with travel and food so kids have the opportunity to enjoy the sport and the team. I want to help continue this life changing attitude that Dream has by contributing financially and also with my time ! I have seen the different being a part of a great organization / team can make in a young persons life and I can think of no better place to give !
God Bless and keep up the great work !

"Dream Elite is easily the best organization in Knoxville. I was on the original Dream Elite team and the original TN Fury teams. I can honestly say Dream does a significantly better job instilling fundamentals in players. Dream is also very family oriented. As a former player and now coach I feel like I have grown up with Dream. Joey and Rikki are like a second set of parents to me!"

"When our son decided he was serious about basketball, we looked for a great organization that provided a more competitive edge. Dream Elite has far surpassed our expectations, and provided fundamental training, experienced coaching, and numerous growth opportunities for him. The kids are learning what it truly means to be a team player, and are held to the highest standards of class, sportsmanship and respect. I am grateful that the directors and coaches stress the importance of academics and character both on and off the court. We couldn't be more excited for another season with Dream Elite and are blessed to have the opportunity to represent the greatest youth athletics organizations in our area."
