Ty Mathews founded Mid State Sports in 2011 after seeing a need for quality, recreational sports opportunities for adults in Nashville. Beginning with only a handful of adult Softball, Kickball, and Basketball leagues, Ty Mathews grew Mid State Sports Leagues into one of the largest adult sports leagues in the southeast, with over 20,000 annual participants in Softball, Kickball, Volleyball, Basketball, Soccer, and Flag Football leagues in Nashville.
In 2014, Ty Mathews started Mid State Youth Sports, bringing the same level of quality and organization to Nashville’s youth. Growing from one youth soccer league in East Nashville, MSYS now hosts over 3,000 kids ages 3-14 year-round in both Soccer and Basketball leagues.
Beyond youth and adult leagues, Ty Mathews is the tournament director for one of the largest Youth Basketball Tournament series in Tennessee. For over a decade he has hosted the Mid State basketball tournament series, boasting 12 tournaments March through June, with over 100 teams each weekend!
