Since 2016
Built from belief, trust, and opportunity.
Tallawah Roos Sports was founded by Andrew Scott on June 6, 2016, beginning as Tallawah Track and Field. The goal was to create a place where athletes could train with purpose, receive quality coaching, and grow both in competition and in life.
Miles Elkins and Maegan Saleh were the first athletes to represent the club in competition. Their commitment and trust helped establish the foundation of Tallawah, and their place in our history will always be recognized.
Today, Tallawah Roos Sports focuses on Track & Field and Basketball while providing training, camps, private coaching, hosted events, and competitive opportunities throughout the Greater St. Louis region.
Our Legacy
