At Elevate209, our mission is to empower youth in Stockton, CA, and nearby communities, enriching their lives through sports, strength training, education, and leadership development. We are dedicated to being a positive influence, offering young individuals a platform to develop their skills both on and off the field. Through mentorship, counseling, and tutoring, we strive to nurture confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging in every young person we serve.

Team Elevate, our flagship program, is a 7v7 traveling football program open to youth from 1st grade through high school. Since our founding nine years ago with just 15 players, we’ve grown to serve over 160 kids aged 6-17, divided into six divisions: 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, and two high school teams. We’ve expanded to include a 5-on-5 linemen division and an all-girls team. Today, Team Elevate is recognized as one of California’s premier programs, with our 14U team ranked in the top 3 nationally and our high school team in the top 10.

Stockton’s youth face many challenges, and Elevate209 provides an uplifting alternative, offering a safe, supportive community that builds physical strength, mental wellness, confidence, and essential leadership skills. We’re not just a football program; we’re a family committed to helping young people reach their full potential and follow a positive path forward.
