The On Deck Foundation's Mission is to provide children of all fundamental levels and backgrounds the necessary skills and tools for life-long personal success through academics, arts and athletics.
Youth Programs & Events are currently in the works for the counties of Walker, Montgomery and Harris. We are in the process of identifying our most crucial needs at this time for the youth in our area. Along with our Phase Training program, we are working closely with each county to understand where to start first.

We are excited to announce that we are partnering with the H-Town 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 H-Town 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.

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.
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.

We are excited to announce that we are partnering with the Correa Baseball Academy (CBA). On Deck will be the Pro Advisor for CBA's developmental baseball & softball teams. CBA has been developing baseball and softball players in the Willis, TX area for many years and has gained the trust within the community. CBA is currently running youth teams that need our help.

Back in 2001, while working within the LA County Foster System, founding members of the On Deck Foundation saw a huge need in LA County to help provide foster and adopted youth with more resources. To help fill the gaps, the On Deck Foundation was formed in November of 2002. Throughout the years, the foundation has provided housing, programs, clinics, unique experience's and connections for foster youth.
In 2022, we held our first clinic outside of California and decided to stay. We are excited of the new partnerships and opportunities for the youth of Montgomery County and surrounding communities.
Here in 2023, the needs extend outside the system walls and into our communities. On Deck's Programs, Staff & Donors have never been needed more.

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.
Phase Training is a 4-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.
We provide scholarships for youth to participate in all of On Deck's programs, events, clinics and unique opportunities. All current foster and adopted youth are always automatically scholar shipped. On Deck also provides financial aid for community opportunities like AYSO, Little League, Club Volleyball, Track teams, etc. How do you expect A+ grades with D- materials?
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.
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!
