Netted Dreams: Dameon’s opportunity
Meet Dameon Tyler, a 12-year-old from Miami, Florida, who is very passionate about sports. As a single parent of four children, his mom, Maurena, has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of sports in Dameon’s life, particularly through his involvement in football, lacrosse, and flag football.
For Dameon, sports aren’t just a hobby—they’re a way of life. His love for being active and engaged in sports year-round has not only kept him physically fit but has also opened doors to numerous opportunities, especially in lacrosse. Despite being in the 7th grade, Dameon has already received invitations to play lacrosse at the high school level, showcasing his dedication and talent in the sport.
The introduction of lacrosse into their community two years ago was a game-changer for Dameon and his family. Maurena expresses her gratitude for the opportunity that Every Kid Sports provided, helping her cover Dameon’s registration fees for the season. This support has been instrumental in allowing Dameon to pursue his passion for lacrosse and continue to thrive in the sport he loves.
Looking ahead, Dameon has big dreams fueled by his love for sports. He is most excited about learning new skills this season, which not only enhances his athletic abilities but also fosters personal growth and resilience. Maurena has noticed positive changes in Dameon’s behavior since he started playing sports, including spending less time on screens and staying active and focused.
When asked about his dreams for the future, Dameon’s aspirations shine brightly. He dreams of receiving a full scholarship to attend any college of his choice, with lacrosse or football as his ticket to achieving higher education and pursuing his dreams.
