On deck partners with houston dream center

March 1st, 2023

We are excited to announce that we are partnering with the Houston Dream Center. With the community center almost complete, the athletic field is next to develop. Keeping the community in mind, plans are for an open field with a track running around the outside. Along the track path, we will be implementing Phase Training testing stations open to the community. The field will be used for Phase Training while introducing sports to the youth that maybe wouldn't have had the opportunities outside of the center. 


Located in Splendora, TX, the Houston Dream Center provides necessary & much needed programing, supplies, fellowship, opportunities and more for the individuals & families in real need. 


Together, We Give Hope, Healing & Freedom

Helping women, children and at-risk youth break the chains of oppression and poverty so they can experience the hope and freedom of Christ and begin to dream again.


Please visit https://www.htowndreamcenter.org/ for more info.

In 2000, after seeing his first foster care facility, Founder Brett Pierce left professional baseball and got to work. Within the LA County Foster System, he has held multiple positions including childcare worker, instructional aid, mental health specialist and mental health coordinator. Since then, he has brought together Celebrities, Community Figures, Corporations and like minded organizations in an effort to give hope where there was not. Our team of professionals and volunteers understand how important their role is. For some youth, the best part of their days are during On Deck Foundation's programming. We are always looking for help. If you are interested in volunteering, becoming an instructor, joining our Advisory Board and more, please click below.

Here in 2023, the needs now extend outside system walls and into our homes and communities. Our vision, is too level the playing field.

Today, experiences, private instructors, camps, clinics, leagues, tournaments, equipment, etc., have eliminated a huge percentage of our youth able to participate due to fees and costs. This is unacceptable. ODF hopes to identify and provide for this population within our communities.

Our Programs

Phase Training

Phase Training

Phase Training

Phase Training is a 6-week personal athletic program. Twice a week for an hour, youth learn testing techniques, muscle awareness, a stretch & agility routine and a training circuit they can do at home and increase their tests scores. All athletes are tested before and after showing improvements they made on their own! Phase Training II is more sport specific as athletes realize their talents.

Professional Lessons

Invaluable Experiences

Invaluable Experiences

Today many youth have an advantage of getting professional lessons in their chosen sport or activity. Do to being rather expensive, unfortunately there are more who don't. To help level the playing field and give our youth the same advantages, On Deck has provided hundreds of pro lessons over the years free to our identified youth. Please help us continue this and make that a reality for more.

Invaluable Experiences

Invaluable Experiences

Unfortunately, too many times, youth in the foster system and youth in general, have things of importance taken away from them. One thing that we found is that if we could provide an experience, no one could ever take that away!  Over the years our Advisory Board has provided opportunities to our youth that money could not buy. They have been front row at Angel and Dodger games, seen Ron Capps race his Napa Auto Parts Funny Car, met players at UCLA and USC and the list goes on. They still talk about those experiences till this day. We are excited to partner with the Greater Houston communities and offer experiences to youth only found in Texas! Please help us continue this for youth in your community!

Phase Training

What do they learn?

All athletes learn a basic stretch and agility routine, muscle identification and strength and conditioning exercises. Athletes also learn what muscles or muscle groups are involved in each of their athletic movements. Athletes will add more challenging exercises and tests as their confidence and abilities grow.

Why Testing?

We use these numbers to help properly place each athlete into classes, clinics, camps, teams, etc.. Numbers help show athletes their progress and results from their hard work along with where they came from. Phase Training 1  helps us plan future programming in specific areas of need.

Phase Training 1 (Phase 1) Core Tests

All athletes are initially tested in total push-ups and sit-ups in 60 seconds, broad jump, vertical jump and a 15-yard Shuttle Run.

Phase Training 2 (Phase 2)

Phase Training 2 (Phase 2) is more advanced and sport specific. Built off of knowledge gained through Phase Training 1, Phase 2 incorporates strength, conditioning and sport specific testing. Some testing we offer and is not limited to the following when available: Pitching, Catching,  Infield and Outfield Release Speed, Hitting Exit Velocity, 60-yard Dash, Catcher's Pop Time, 40-yard Dash, etc.
