Welcome to our Nonprofit Rise League Inc

The Rise League - Nonprofit was founded in January 2019 by our Co-Founders Dwight and Dmitri Thompson. They were raised right here in Orlando, Florida. Growing up they realized they didn’t have the resources that most of the best players in Central Florida had. 

Although they made it far as former players, access to resources could’ve propelled them even further, that’s what drives them now. Our goal is to provide the youth with those said resources and opportunities. They noticed how the youth in our community hit their peaks too early due to this and we’re here to change that.
