The We Not Me model
...is to learn together and work together. The importance of having a community and a sense of belonging can not be overstated. Having a tribe, any tribe, is life-affirming, a core need of all people, and an excellent way to learn.Â
Cohorts of 6-12 kids help bring the energy of a group while remaining small enough to receive individual attention.Â
Coach Matt taught gifted education at The Grayson School where the class sizes were usually less than 10. It's a shame that this isn't available to students of all abilities. Everyone wins in smaller-sized classrooms.Â
Over the years Matt has studied each of these courses offered. It's his favorite way to spend his time and he thinks it's a great path for any young person to head down. With his Masters of Education, 15 years of teaching, and interdisciplinary approach to learning, Matt is uniquely qualified to provide meaningful experiences that connect many of life's lessons.

FAQ's
Is this only for teams who played in the winter league?
Of course not! This is open to everyone.
Do we have to keep the team together from the basketball league?
Certainly not. These groups do work best when they are of similar ages. But, you can mix and match any group of kids together for Courses.
Is Coach Matt the only instructor?
For right now, yes. I am collecting an all-star cast of coaches as we speak, though. We are creating those courses together and hope to roll them out in the Spring.
What courses might you offer in the future?
Softball pitching, Strength and Conditioning, Social Media for Athletes, Reading Tutoring, and more...
Are these courses just for kids?
Great question! For now, yes. Eventually, we will be offering classes for all ages. I'm excited by what's in development for our adulting classes. Stay tuned :)
