Our Story

Welcome to Youth Texas Teams, a youth-led nonprofit created by three passionate young brothers who believe in the power of sports, literacy, and mental health. Founded by students with a shared vision, our organization empowers youth athletes across Texas by providing a platform where their voices can shine and their stories can inspire others.

The journey began when the founders recognized a gap in how young athletes were represented in the media. Too often, their personal challenges, mental health struggles, and academic goals went unseen. Motivated by their own experiences in sports and the stories of their peers, they set out to build something meaningful, a space that celebrates athletic achievement while also promoting wellness, literacy, and self-expression.

Royal, Aydhen, and Koryian turned that vision into reality by launching Youth Texas Teams Magazine, written by students and for students. The magazine highlights youth athletes’ accomplishments while featuring articles on mental health awareness, sportsmanship, and the importance of literacy. It gives young writers the opportunity to build communication skills, share their perspectives, and become leaders in their communities.

Expanding beyond print, the brothers introduced the Youth Texas Teams YouTube Channel, where they interview youth athletes, coaches, counselors, parents, community leaders, and partners. These conversations bring visibility to real-life issues, promote open dialogue about mental wellness, and showcase the strength and spirit of young athletes across the state.

Through these creative outlets, Youth Texas Teams is more than a publication. It is a movement dedicated to building stronger, healthier, and more confident young people. We aim to destigmatize conversations around mental health, encourage literacy as a lifelong tool for empowerment, and provide access to positive role models who inspire growth both on and off the field.

Our story continues with every young person who reads, writes, or shares their voice through our programs. Together, we are changing the narrative of youth sports by focusing on what truly matters, mental strength, education, and community support.

Join us as we continue to uplift youth athletes, promote well-being, and champion literacy across Texas and beyond.
