Purpose:
PhatBack Athletics is an all boys track & field club and mentor
program that serves young
men between the ages of 13 and 18-years-old. The program is administered by Mister
Mann Frisby, who has eight years of coaching experience. PhatBack’s purpose is to develop and nurture the athletic talent
of these young men while allowing them to build relationships with highly successful men in various professions. All members
are required to attend monthly mentor sessions in which a chosen speaker shares their life experiences. PhatBack practices
three times a week from April through July and competes mostly on weekends.The team motto is:”I am one of many, only
opportunity has distinguished me from many”.
History:
PhatBack Athletics competes in meets sanctioned by USA Track & Field (USATF) and the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). The
scheduled meets begin in May and run throughout July on a yearly basis. By providing this positive athletic outlet for our
athletes, we are assuring that they have a fighting chance to compete for athletic and academic scholarships. In the program,
critical issues facing young men such as self-esteem, violence, drug abuse, and sex are regularly addressed. PhatBack Athletics
is vital in the lives of its members because it allows them an opportunity to compete in high quality athletic competitions
while exposing them to some of the nation’s finest college campuses. In the last few years, members of the team have
competed at such sites as University of Tennessee, Morgan State, Duke University, and Norfolk State University.
