Our story starts with one extraordinary young man.
Drake Athletics was born from the heart and legacy of an extraordinary young man named Drake Tester. Drake was a beloved member of our roots team whose kindness, joy, and passion for life left a lasting impact on everyone he met. He passed away at just 16 years old from a seizure disorder, but the way he lived — with love, adventure, loyalty, and integrity — continues to inspire everything we do.
Drake taught us that one smile, one act of kindness, can change a life. That is the spirit we carry forward in every practice, every competition, and every moment we spend together. Because tomorrow is never promised, and today is our chance to make a difference.
Our mission is simple — Do It Like Drake.
At Drake Athletics, we believe in healthy competition, personal growth, and family-like support. We create a space where every athlete, coach, and parent feels seen, valued, and supported — not just for what they achieve on the mat, but for who they are as a person.
We don't expect perfection. We expect effort, honesty, kindness, and accountability. We expect athletes to work hard, support each other, choose integrity, and leave every practice better than they arrived.
