OUR MISSION
Sandlot is dedicated to creating a competitive environment built on the foundation of character, mentorship, teamwork, dedication and accountability. We provide a platform for young athletes to acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to succeed on and off the field.
Our vision is to create a bridge between football pros and young athletes. Sandlot was designed as a player-centric destination where athletes at all levels of the game could come together to exchange insights, skills, life lessons and share in their love of football. We are united in our passion for the game and a comprehensive approach to supporting the whole athlete.
OUR story
Sandlot was founded in 2021 after a series of inspiring discussions among NFL athletes Lamar Jackson, DeMario Davis, Abe Elam and Dexter Santos of the NFL Players Association. This was the catalyst to bring together other NFL players who are actively involved in youth football during the offseason or post-retirement for an annual tournament showcasing exceptional youth talent.
Driven by a deep commitment to community service and a shared passion for empowering youth, Sandlot has become a nexus for active and former players to strengthen the next generation. Sandlot is where past, present and future athletes inspire each other to compete and achieve greatness on and off the field.
