Meet the founder and program director behind Elevate Future Athletics.
Elevate Future Athletics was founded by Terrell Chey Christie, a former NCAA Division I basketball player who went on to play professionally for eight years. That collegiate and professional foundation shapes how every session is coached — real fundamentals, real structure, real standards.
Before founding Elevate Future Athletics, Terrell spent years coaching youth basketball from kindergarten through 12th grade. That coaching background — not just playing experience — is what shapes every PE session. Kids don't just play basketball here; they train like athletes.
Today, Terrell brings that same competitive standard to homeschool PE — building a program where basketball is the vehicle for real fitness, discipline, and teamwork.
Competed at the Division I level, developing the fundamentals and work ethic that anchor this program.
Eight years of professional basketball experience, competing at a high level year after year.
