The Chop Shop Show: 01.23.23, Anti-Bullying Author Fred Spencer
Fred Spencer is the Founder of 4J's Sports and former director and coach of the Riverview Hurricanes, a top-flight American Athletics Union (AAU) basketball program. A former Division I basketball player, he has lead the Hurricanes for nearly four years. He has created the movement as a way to help young men become better people, not just players.
A 501C-3 Corporation, 4J's Sports is an extracurricular activity Spencer started back in the early 2000's in addition to his duties with the Boys and Girls club. It started out as way to develop players. From humble beginnings, Spencer's teams have emerged as some of the better AAU squads in the nation. What the players do on top of games is more impressive. Spencer makes his players sign a contract, which requires them to maintain a 2.75 GPA in school and 25 hours of community college during the season.
The organization has hosted community fundraisers and car washes and have also volunteered with the Gasparilla festival, Metropolitan Ministries, the YMCA and the March of Dimes. In addition, Spencer has also promoted an anti-bulling initiative which equips players with skills to identify bullied students and use them to help connect class mates between different social groups at school.
With the sacrifice has come reward on and off the court.
