Success in sports requires more than talent, it requires guidance, resources, and opportunity. Founded in 2019 by brothers Dwight and Dmitri Thompson, Rise League Inc. was created to bridge the gap for young athletes in Central Florida who may lack access to the tools and support that can elevate their potential. Drawing from their own experiences, the Thompsons recognized how greater exposure and mentorship could have amplified their own athletic journeys, inspiring them to ensure others don’t face the same limitations.

Rise League is committed to empowering youth both on and off the court. Beyond athletic development, the organization emphasizes education and business skills, helping young people prepare for long-term success beyond sports. By providing mentorship, resources, and strategic opportunities, Rise League ensures that talented athletes are equipped to excel today while also building a foundation for the future.
