About Us

The Memphis Thoroughbreds was established in February of 1999 by Memphian Tommy Washington. It has been the continuous goal of the Thoroughbreds to provide long lasting life skills through strict instruction and guidance. Young Thoroughbreds will be taught and reminded daily of the importance of sound decision making and accountability. Through mentoring, Shelby County student athletes will learn key attributes such conflict resolution and self-worth, which ultimately deters them from gang activity and prevents early unplanned childhood pregnancies. Each family will be provided with the resources of mental health, food assistance, financial planning, and emotional support.

"We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community... Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own." Please clink link below to further help us carry out our goals.
