The vision God provided for this endeavor included an extensive recreational aspect, with the real and obtainable prospect of physical discipline and training towards various sports professions. This will require facilities and fields, as well as obtaining the direct involvement from current and retired Processional Athletes.

 

Field sports will include football, soccer, baseball, and handball. Court sports will include basketball, tennis, and volleyball. The physical layout will evolve as need and talent become evident and finances allow. We would like to see swimming and gymnastics included. The recreational aspect of this organization, however,  will not be geared toward entering or seeking employment via professional sports.

 

We believe that quality recreational facilities will generate genuine desire to use them, share them, and find pleasure in them... Respect, awe, and acceptance, of sports are universal; crossing racial, social, cultural, and prejudicial boundaries. We also know, however, that recreation, alone, will not affect character change or skills.

 

If there is no educational aspect and foundation involved, a recreation yard is nothing more than a place to pass time... though that, in and of itself, is not a bad thing –– if one is spending their time utilizing the facilities, they are not likely spending that time in socially detrimental behavior... No, we at the GNZ, believe that there needs be an avenue of skills training that will provide the hope – and the very real and seeable possibility – of a transition from the mean streets to the successful acquisition of social acceptance, contribution, and longevity.

 

We know that highly successful Athletes are one of the rare things that rival gangbangers, race-haters, poverty stricken citizens, the handicapped, the young, the elderly, the poor, the rich – Mothers, Fathers, GrandMothers, GrandFathers, Uncles, Aunts, Brothers, Sisters – everyone admires and wants to meet and hear the stories of Professional Athletes and how they became accomplished...

​

Professional Athletes will draw the community in, and vocational training that is targeted and specific to industries of the area, will provide an alternative means of living, as opposed to living meanly... This is the vision and the mandate the founder was given by God, and this is the reason he formed The GNZ...

​

We also plan to provide GED (General Educational Development) certification courses and stellar Vocational Training and certification(s) specific to the local employment opportunities.

     

Join him, join us, join our movement, and together we will take back our inner cities –– 1 by 1 by 1.
