How it all started

MEET THE FOUNDERS OF THE FACTORY

Childhood friends Tim Brown and Lavelle Hawkins, grew up in Stockton, California playing multiple sports but both excelling at football. Their talents afforded them a free education and allowed them to play professionally for many years in the League. Though their careers took them to many countries, states and communities...their hearts and families were always here in the Central Valley.

When the kids in this community needed help, Tim and Lavelle were in the right place at the right time. During the pandemic athletes were struggling to find places to train to stay in shape, knowing this Tim and Lavelle got together and offered training so these athletes dreams of playing at the next level wouldn't slip away. They started practicing outdoors at the parks until it was safe and then they secured their first location to officially open THE FACTORY. By having a physical location and a state-of-the-art facility and equipment, this helps their athletes find stability and confidence in their training and workouts.
