Our Programs

The Timoteo youth leagues are at the heart of Timoteo, currently serving over 600 young men and women throughout the year.Timoteo Sports is dedicated to serving youth aged 5 to 18 across Philadelphia, with a special focus on some of the city’s most challenging neighborhoods. Since our founding in 2005, we have used sports such as flag football, basketball, and volleyball as a platform to engage, mentor, and empower both young men and women. While our programs provide essential recreational opportunities, our mission goes beyond just sports. We are committed to offering holistic support, integrating faith-based teachings, academic enrichment, career development, mentoring, counseling, and personal growth into our work. Our approach is shaped by a deep understanding of the daily challenges faced by youth in these communities, enabling us to connect with and support them in meaningful, transformative ways.

  • "Timoteo has opened my eyes that life is much more than just what goes in the streets of Philadelphia and that I have the power and potential to overcome any battles that I face on a day to day basis."

    Marquis Merricks, Former Player

  • "Timoteo definitely shaped me to be the man I am today. Playing in the football league showed me how to be a leader. Timoteo also helped me with employment and played a big role in me working for Peco Energy."

    Geovanni Rodriguez, Former Player

  • "It's more than just football and basketball. It's building character and relationships with other people from areas that I can relate to."

    Marcus Ortiz, Former Player

  • "If it wasn't for Timoteo I wouldn't be in college right now. They helped me through the process of going to Williamson College of the Trades. I will have a full time job in Construction Management, after I walk across that stage. This all leads back to Timoteo."
