About Us – LED 360 Sports League & Academy L3C

At LED 360 Sports League & Academy L3C, we believe that sports are a gateway — not just to championships, but to character, opportunity, and lifelong success. Founded by Coach LaTarence Dunbar, a retired NFL athlete and trailblazing philanthropist, LED 360 delivers more than competition.

We offer a 360° development experience rooted in equity, mentorship, and cutting-edge technology. Our mission is to empower student-athletes from underrepresented communities by integrating high-level sports training with academic enrichment, life coaching, and access to XR and AI technologies.

What Sets Us Apart

Unlike traditional youth sports programs or funding nonprofits like Every Kid Sports, LED 360 is a full-circle solution:

360° Athlete Model

We develop the whole person — physically, mentally, emotionally, and professionally — with support systems that extend beyond the game.

Tech Meets Talent

Our program fuses sports with Extended Reality (XR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), providing young athletes access to tools that build 21st-century career skills.

Community Roots, National Reach

We work hand-in-hand with local schools, workforce boards, and nonprofit partners to bridge opportunity gaps for youth aged 12–24.

Barrier-Free Access

Through WIOA-backed funding, donations, and scholarships, we ensure that cost is never a barrier to participation or progress.

💬 Our Vision

To create a national pipeline of empowered student-athletes who excel in sports, school, and society — ready to lead, ready to give back.

For Donors & Philanthropic Partners

At LED 360 Sports League & Academy L3C, we empower under-resourced youth through a revolutionary blend of sports, mentorship, and technology. Founded by former NFL athlete Coach LaTarence Dunbar, our academy transforms student-athletes into future leaders.

We combine high-impact athletic training with extended reality (XR), AI-driven education, and life coaching. Your support helps us eliminate financial barriers, expand access to WIOA-funded development, and uplift communities from the inside out.
