honoring a legacy of coaching through youth sports
Jim was a lifelong coach who inspired his players on and off the field. Although we cannot replace him as a coach, we hope that through this foundation, we can give everyone an opportunity to play and be coached.
Who
we are
The James P McAndrew Youth Sports Foundation was created to continue the legacy of the great Coach Jim McAndrew. Jim was a coach for 30+ years, from basketball to baseball. His innate ability to make every player feel seen, special, and appreciated separated him from other coaches. He instilled confidence in his players, allowing them to see the value in themselves on and off the field. To quote a former player: “he taught baseball, life, and to be a good leader…he instilled confidence in kids who didn’t see a reason in themselves to be confident.” Not only was he able to build confidence, but he was also able to build skills through constant learning, unique drills, and continuous support.
Although this foundation cannot duplicate his electric coaching, it can provide children with the opportunity to play the sport and grow confidence.
