Building Champions On and Off the Court

About Me

My name is Tavares Rollins, & I’m the President of the (Focus Scholars/ Lady Scholars), along with the Vice President Cedric Brooks, focusing on children understanding sacrifices. The organization started in August 2016, & the two teams range from 3rd-6th grade boys/ girls. I developed the passion to become a coach because of my father who not only coached me when I played AAU basketball but also the intensity & challenge he brought to the game of basketball. I also witnessed the opportunities that it can bring along with being well-rounded in the classroom while heading to the next level after high school.

The Focus Family is proud to announce a historic milestone—our first two players have officially committed to play college basketball.
