ABOUT EOYOF
EOYOF, which stands for Enhancing Our Youth Our Future, was established 2009 by Robert Scales. The EOYOF organization consists of over 100+ student-athletes from different areas of the Shelby County region that are energetic, dedicated and willing to put in the work in the classroom and on the basketball court. Our objective with EOYOF is to mentor and develop our youth, not only in basketball but in academics and other aspects of their lives as well. We want to provide athletic, educational, recreational, and lifelong learning opportunities that will promote community and family values. We see EOYOF as much more than just an organization, we see this as family as well, We just want what's best for our youth and want to see them succeed in so many different aspects of their life. Aside from school, EOYOF is always busy with various team activities such as writing essays about goals and weaknesses, team practices, training, community service, team/parent meetings, cookouts, movies, sleepovers and other team building experiences. Our organization is so much more than just basketball. It's not all about winning, it's about developing our youth's mindset and preparing them for their future.
