About Us

ELEV8 Athletics doesn't just have a Statement, we're on a Mission. To enrich the youth in the community socially, emotionally and physically. To be accountable to the youth and teach them character, integrity and perseverance through sports clinics, youth specific events and programs. 

Hi! My name is Kyle Jackson and truth is, I didn't wake up wondering how I can better serve my community, it  was instilled in me by my late father Harold Jackson. Harold was Senior Vice President, Los Angeles Metropolitan YMCA. He was a former MLB player and was influential to the grow of youth, sports, diversity and inclusion.

Although in my early adult years I took another route in life, I find myself following in the same footsteps as my father. I didn't understand until I became a father and started coaching all sports that our balanced lifestyle of physical, mental and emotional health wasn't being practiced as much in the community. 

My wife Chenelle Jackson, my rock and COO, found it compelling to move through our community in a positive reinforcing way.  My famous quote is 'I can't want it more than you do.' But here's the catcher, if we teach the youth through emotional and mental development how to persevere through anything, with work hard then they DO want it more than I want it for them.
