About Real Dream Chasers
The dream is bigger than the scoreboard.
Ronnie and Alissa Powell founded RDC in 2016 to mentor young people through basketball and help them chase what is possible—on the court and beyond it.
Founded in 2016
A program born from basketball and mentorship.
RDC began in 2016 when Ronnie and Alissa Powell—both former collegiate players—started working with young athletes through one-on-one lessons at Patriot Sports Club. Their shared passion for basketball and mentorship soon grew into group skill sessions and the first RDC Patriot teams.
“RDC is more than basketball. We coach life.”
What started with individual instruction became a program built around character-based team culture. Ronnie and Alissa set out to develop confident, tough-minded, fearless competitors while helping young people believe in themselves and keep chasing their goals on and off the court.
The spider in the logo
Move forward. Take the chance.
Ronnie’s older brother Rodney—known as “Spider”—left a lasting impact on Ronnie and Alissa. His mindset was to keep moving forward in doubt and to take the chance. After Rodney died, RDC added the spider to its logo in his honor.
It is more than a graphic. It carries the memory behind RDC’s name: keep chasing.
What RDC asks of its community
