NonProfit
In the winter of 2009, John Mallee founded Shockers Youth Sports Development, Inc. A 501 (c) (3) nonprofit baseball organization focused on providing a positive learning environment that encourages sportsmanship, teamwork, and quality training to the youth of Northwest Indiana.
John’s Vision
As a student, a player and instructor of the game, baseball has touched every aspect of John Mallee’s life. It has taught him many of life’s most important skills, such as teamwork, respect, hard work and determination. John firmly believes that a child’s exposure and participation to organized sports is critical in developing the next generation of community-conscious, college-ready student-athletes.
Baseball, like many of today’s organized sports, has become a very expensive sport to participate in. The high costs of bats, gloves, training, and team fees are making the game prohibitively expensive for many families. John’s personal vision is to give every child the opportunity to play baseball and receive the very best instruction in Northwest Indiana at little to no cost to the player.
Community
Since 2009, his organization has donated sporting equipment to local community programs in need.
John has helped fundraise for charitable organizations such as Jacobs Closets and Toys for Tots, as well as organizing coat donation drives for local centers during the winter months.
