The Players Club
Players Club was established in 1996 by Edward L. Nelson. While attending Monsignor Scanlan Highschool, 30 young men and women came together under the leadership of Mr. Nelson, one of the greatest step teams in history. Immediately after the team was created, The Players won 20 out of 22 championships in a time span of two years. During their sudden rise in popularity, Players began an outreach to the community to save lives of students and struggling teens. In this process, the definition of Players was born, "Participating in the lives among youth to educate and restore society".
In the process of becoming one of the best step teams in the world, Players have accomplished community goals such as five year Greek Alliance Step Show Champions, seventeen time Magazine Step Show Champions, four year St. Joesphs College Step Show Champions, Lehman College Step Champions of 1996, St. Johns Step Show Champions of 2009, and an incredible achievement of a performance at the White House for President Bill Clinton.
Players also accomplished more televised goals such as fifteen time winners on Showtime at the Apollo, Americas Got Talent semifinalist (first season), World Tour with Alicia Keys in 2001, NBA Allstar Weekend in 2001, Soul Train Music Awards in 2001, World Tour with Alicia Keys and Beyonce in 2005, and movie accomplishment "The River of Thunderment (2013 release)". Now the Players are currently touring colleges all over the country. |
