Ted Ginn Academy Sports Media Program

Developing the Next Generation of Sports Storytellers

At the Ted Ginn Academy, we believe that every young person deserves a platform — not just to be seen, but to be heard. Our Sports Media Program is designed to empower at-risk youth with the skills, confidence, and experience to thrive in the ever-evolving world of sports journalism and digital media.

Whether on camera, behind the scenes, or at the heart of the story — students gain more than technical knowledge. They gain a voice, a vision, and a purpose.
