From the AD's Chair

Stronger programs. Better coaches. More opportunity.

Athletic Directors are asked to do more with less: more sports, more athletes, more expectations, and never enough staff, budget or gym time. Mike Allen has sat in that chair, and he's coached at the high school, college and professional levels.

Mike Allen Sports works alongside your administration to assess where your department stands, build a clear plan, and put the training, coaching and community systems in place to carry it forward, season after season.

Questions

FAQ

Do you only work with basketball programs?

Basketball is our foundation, and Mike Allen Sports is expanding into volleyball, soccer, baseball and football. Program building, coach development and fundraising support apply across every sport in your department.

Do you work outside of San Diego?

Yes. We work with schools nationwide, on-site or virtually, with team members in San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Washington and Cincinnati. Travel-based engagements add travel expenses.

We just need help with one team. Is that too small?

Not at all. Many partnerships start with one program, then grow across the department once the model is working.

Can you help us raise money?

Yes. We design and run fundraisers such as shoot-a-thons and goal-a-thons, and help build sponsor relationships that fund uniforms, fees and stipends.
