Sportball North Houston

My name is Tim Yates and I am the Owner of the Sportball North Houston. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University and worked as an Engineer in the oil and gas industry in Houston for 16 years. I have always loved sports so when my children were old enough to start playing I decided to volunteer to coach their teams. I found out that I really enjoyed working with kids and teaching them how to play. One thing I noticed is that the kids lacked basic skills yet were expected to play in competitive games after the first couple weeks of practice. I thought it would be great if there were a program that kids could go to from an early age to learn fundamental skills that would help them build their confidence so they were ready to compete when the time came. When I discovered Sportball it was a perfect match! My wife and I started the Sportball North Houston franchise in 2019 and it has truly been a blessing to make a difference in the lives of so many children through sports.

My wife and I have four children and live in the Humble area of Houston. My two oldest kids play competitive basketball so I also coach their AAU teams in addition to Sportball coaching. In my spare time I enjoy playing the guitar and cheering on the Dallas Mavericks. Lets Go Mavs!
