In 2006, Coach Rey had a vision of increasing the skill level of the baseball players in the Northeast Consortium, in an effort to restore the heightened the level of competitive sports that was once very prevalent in the area. That year, he created and founded Panther Summer Sports Camps. His idea was to provide instructional, fun, and foundation building sports camps to members of the community. Coach Rey was not only able to give back to the members of the community but was able to give back to the coaches and teachers at local schools by providing career opportunities during the summer months.
His vision grew. Interest from coaches all around the 495 Beltway increased and Coach Rey expanded his company in 2013. The name of the camp changed to All Pro Athletes, and he is excited to be a part of this revolutionary approach to coaching, instructing, community building, and athletic enhancement.
