Beyond the Game

Teams can earn a $5,000 grant through participation in the Beyond the Game program. A total of four teams will be selected to receive these funds. Two $5,000 grants will be awarded at the 2027 San Antonio Sports All-Star Football Game on January 9, and two $5,000 grants will be awarded at the 2027 San Antonio Sports All-Star Basketball Game on April 10.

What’s Involved?

San Antonio Sports and Valero encourage high school and middle school athletic teams to model the values and principles of going Beyond the Game. Hall of Fame Coach Grant Teaff’s book, A Coach’s Influence – Beyond the Game, inspires coaches to positively influence their athletes to model key values and serve others. Valero’s culture is rooted in values that include teamwork, excellence, doing the right thing and caring.
