Our Vision Sports Education Foundation
Empowering Student-Athletes Through Education, Mentorship, and Purpose-Driven Programs
At the heart of our initiatives lies the Our Vision Sports Education Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting youth through sports and education. Our mission is to provide assistance and support to student-athletes, offering scholarship opportunities and guidance to further their academic and athletic endeavors in college.
Our Story
Founded in 2015, Our Vision Sports Education Foundation, Inc. (OVSEF) was established by Andre Wise and Kelvin White to support student-athletes in securing scholarship opportunities across all sports and advancing their educational and athletic pursuits in college. Recognizing the challenges young athletes face in the recruitment process, OVSEF aims to provide clarity and guidance to both athletes and their families.
TYGTAL means Take Your Game To Another Level. It is the management and operating arm of Our Vision Sports Education Foundation, delivering events and selected services under one organization. The TYGTAL name connects our work to a shared purpose: helping student-athletes and families prepare for their next level.
Next Level Classic is one of our programs, with two divisions: the Junior Classic and the Freshman/Sophomore Classic. Both are owned by Our Vision Sports Education Foundation and operated by TYGTAL. They bring together athletic development, academics, recruiting education, health, wellness, leadership, and family guidance.
Our Vision and its TYGTAL programs have supported over 300 student-athletes in pursuing collegiate opportunities, emphasizing education, mentorship, and sportsmanship.
