how we began
In 2004, Pittsburgh native DeWayne Brown created 2Tenths Speed & Agility with just a handful of students. The vision was to train student athletes and help keep them off the streets of Pittsburgh. Seventeen years later, 2Tenths Speed & Agility has expanded into the non-profit 2Tenths Foundation and has trained thousands of boys and girls over the years.
