Crown Sports Incorporated

Crown Sports Incorporated is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in metro Atlanta, Georgia, that uses baseball to support young people’s athletic, academic, and personal development. Its mission is to make quality instruction, mentorship, and opportunities accessible to athletes from all backgrounds, helping them build character and physical well-being while preparing to lead on and off the field.

The organization offers travel baseball for athletes seeking high-level competition, intensive team practices focused on fundamentals and game readiness, and private lessons in hitting, fielding, pitching, speed, and baseball knowledge. Its programs also emphasize academic success, accountability, confidence, communication, teamwork, and community involvement. Supportive, person-centered coaching helps young athletes set goals and develop skills in an encouraging environment.

Led by Head Coach Parris Austin, a former New York Mets outfielder with professional and international baseball experience, Crown Sports combines practical coaching with leadership development. The nonprofit also welcomes donations, sponsorships, and community partnerships to help fund its operations and programs, and is forming a founding board of directors.
