Devin and Emily Amodeo Are Looking Forward to Giving Back to
Community Youth with the Rising Sport
PITTSBRUGH, March 28,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Pittsburgh's youth sports scene is about to
get a major boost with the launch of RISE Flag Football
Powered by Under Armour launching this spring. Husband and wife
duo, Devin and Emily Amodeo, are
thrilled to announce the launch of the flag football league,
designed to foster a love for the game while instilling essential
life skills, and is poised to become a beacon of athletic and
personal development for the community's youth. With Devin's
extensive experience at PepsiCo over the past 13 years and Emily's
14-year tenure as a teacher in the local school district, the
couple brings a wealth of expertise and passion to their latest
endeavor.
"In a city known for its football culture,
we saw an opportunity to bring kids from various districts together
and build lasting connections."
Having observed the lack of a well-established and
community-focused flag football program in the Pittsburgh area, Devin and Emily were inspired
to fill this void and provide local youth with a high-quality
athletic experience. Their vision for RISE Flag Football goes
beyond simply teaching the fundamentals of the game; it aims to
foster a sense of camaraderie and unity among players from
different school districts.
"We're excited to create a space where kids can come together,
play with their friends, and learn the game of football in a
supportive and inclusive environment," says Emily Amodeo. Devin echoed those sentiments
saying, "In a city known for its football culture, we saw an
opportunity to bring kids from various districts together and build
lasting connections."
More than just a sports league, this initiative aims to provide
a nurturing environment for young athletes to not only grasp the
fundamentals of flag football but also cultivate crucial traits
such as leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
"We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Flag Football
League in Pittsburgh. This league
is not just about the game; it's about shaping well-rounded
individuals who can excel both on and off the field," said Owner
and CEO TJ Lane.
RISE Flag Football League will provide a safe and supportive
environment for young athletes to discover their potential in
Pittsburgh, but is also vital to
the local community. Not only will RISE provide an avenue for young
individuals to engage in physical activity and promote healthier
lifestyles, these leagues bring families together and foster the
growth of well-rounded individuals posed to become future leaders
within their community.
The league is starting the new year with much to be proud of.
The league saw an exceptional year of growth and impact in 2023,
marking significant milestones that underscore its commitment to
youth development. The organization has seen remarkable expansion,
including engaging over 25,000 enthusiastic youth and providing
them a platform to learn, grow and excel both on and off the field,
securing a monumental partnership with global sports brand Under
Armour, and signing 75 agreements with owners in local markets
across 20 states.
