Why build with Team Avenue

Athletes at the table. Partners in the deal.

Athlete-led ownership groups

We bring together ownership groups led by athletes from Thomari Story-Harden's pro baseball network. Thomari played first base in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization.

Experienced project partners

Athlete groups work alongside experienced developers, operators, and industry partners on each project.

You talk to the owners

Thomari Story-Harden and Ricardo Shepherd-Bey each own 50% of Team Avenue Sports Group, and both work the projects directly.

Relationships since 2009

Team Avenue has been on the field since 2009. Locker Room Connections, now in its inaugural year, brings athletes, alumni, and partners into the same room.

  3. 03

    Next steps

    If it fits, we agree how TASG can help: athlete involvement, community, and operating relationships. Every decision stays with you and your advisers.
