Our mission is to enact community change through the youth of Indianapolis. We are volunteer parents and coaches that want to see our kids make a difference.
AthLead Indy is designed for children to excel in track and field and as leaders in their communities. AthLead Indy believes Indianapolis’s future leaders deserve an opportunity to live in a community that supports them. Our goal is to serve as a safe space to feel empowered, active, and supported year-round. We want to help lower the number of victims of violent crimes in our community and give our children a chance to lead the way.

Our Little Leaders program wrapped up its five-week fall session, led by incredible student-athletes from Butler University and Lawrence North High School. Our young athletes learned essential fundamentals—from warm-ups and sprint mechanics to relay racing and javelin throwing—while building confidence, teamwork, and discipline.
A huge thank you to our parents and coaches for their constant support of our youth and our community. Track and field is about development, and we’re proud to give kids a positive space away from the screens to grow and shine.
Last Friday evening, we were also fortunate to have Ivorye Long join us and pour into our athletes with valuable NCAA eligibility knowledge. It was an impactful event for our families, and we look forward to providing more opportunities like this in the future.
Winter programming begins in January—join us at AthLeadTF.org to stay connected and get registered.

Hey Herd - Yesterday, we completed part one of our NCAA Eligibility Info Session. Thank you, Ivorye Long, for engaging with our young people and parents. The information shared is vital. I went to college over 20 years ago, and the process of getting into school now is entirely different.
Parents, I highly recommend you attend our November 14th NCAA eligibility info session at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana. 7th grade through 12th grade are invited!
