I visited Demario Davis and his Devoted Dreamers 7v7 team in Katy, Texas, at a tournament earlier this summer. First hand, you can see Demario's compassion for the young men in his program and his passion for coaching.

The vision of the Devoted Dreamers Academy has been a dream of Demario and Tamela Davis since the launch of their Devoted Dreamers Foundation in 2013. The school is an extension of the foundation's work to equip the next generation of leaders with the tools to be successful spiritually, mentally, and physically.

Devoted Dreamers Academy is a long-term goal of the Davis Family to create a school that is not only focused on the athlete's career but also on the career around the athlete, including athletic trainers, financial advisors, sports agents, general managers, sports equipment engineers, and much more.

The Devoted Dreamers Academy was founded in 2022 by Demario and Tamela Davis in partnership with Valor Global. It focuses on the individual student's learning styles, strengths, limitations, passions, and pursuits. Students will access elite sports experience labs, academic mentors, exposure to the world of professional sports, guest speakers, and personal guidance from experienced coaches to help navigate the college recruiting process.
