We are more than a sports organization. We are a community committed to developing the next generation of leaders in Polk County.
To empower youth through athletics, education, and mentorship — developing well-rounded individuals who excel on the field and in life.
A Polk County where every young person has access to quality programs that build character, confidence, and a path to a bright future.
AMPD Athletics was founded on the belief that sports are a powerful vehicle for youth development. When young people have structure, mentorship, and opportunity, they thrive. We use athletics as the entry point and build from there — adding education, life skills, and community support to create a complete development experience.
Established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Polk County with a mission to develop youth through sports, mentorship, and education.
Our first active program — a competitive youth basketball travel team competing in AAU and YBOA tournaments across Florida.
Established our training home base, giving our athletes a consistent, quality facility to train and develop.
With donor support, we will launch financial literacy, college prep, mental health, and additional athletics programs.
Anthony Stuckey founded AMPD Athletics in 2025 with a singular vision: to give Polk County youth the tools, training, and mentorship they need to succeed — on the court and beyond. With over 30 years of coaching experience at every level, Coach Stuckey brings a championship pedigree and a servant's heart to everything he does.
His coaching philosophy is built on four pillars: Trust — players must feel cared for before knowledge is valued; Train — educate on game play at the highest level; Perform — demonstrate teachings during competition; and Coach — ensure accountability in every player.
