LevelUp Athletes

The LevelUp tutoring and mentoring program paved the path for a creation of a new program: LevelUp Athletes. Levelup Athletes’ mission is to help children continue to build character through athletics. LevelUp Athletes was founded by Avery Reid, Jalen Johnson, and Jonathan Butler. The three partners have spent the majority of their lives in or around the game of football. They believe strongly that the combination of their experiences can be useful for the generations to come. All three founders were born and raised in Oneonta, AL. During their childhood, they were involved in sports but did not have a local and affordable resource that could aid them with their football skills. For that reason, LevelUp Athletes was born. LevelUp Athletes will step in and fill the void of having quality, local, and affordable football training in Blount County and surrounding communities.

Founder of LevelUp, Avery Reid had this to say about starting this program:

It is a pleasure working alongside a couple guys that are well known in the the community and highly recommended by myself and everyone. Jalen Johnson and Jonathan Butler both expressed interest in the work when John Walker and I first began LevelUp. Thankfully, life has now afforded us the opportunity to join together and begin this journey.

This work is close to Avery, Jalen, and Jonathan’s hearts and they are passionate about helping mold the next generation of football players, through a game that they still carry with them in their everyday lives.
