Grind Out Tutors

Grind Out Sports and Education Program offers students an opportunity to gain experience while having fun. Our student tutors help other youth here at Grind Out, to conquer the fear of Algebra 1 and 2. We want to see every one of our students become successful. We believe that starts with making academics our #1 priority.

"Yes, the youth are playing sports. However, they also need to focus on their studies. Studies come first, then play ball!  The "Grind Out" Sports & Education program, under the direction of Brian Mayes, continues to educate and help local youth prepare for a successful transition into adulthood. We are happy to be able to support this program that does such a great job helping our community."   -Penry Gustafson
