"Growing up I realized that many of my peers didn't have many opportunities to get exposure to college life, or see the world outside of our neighborhood," Sloan said.

My goal in starting Shoot2Score is to show young people what life has shown me by way of competitive athletics - that there is more to life than what we are immediately exposed to."
