Constance Chatmon and her daughter Cherity Chatmon run Sportz Center Academy as a non-profit and operate two facilities with programs that target children, parents who need help, foster kids, and minorities across Decatur. They have run Sportz Center Academy for over thirteen years. The stated mission is to teach each child how to succeed in life, provide a safe and educative support system for children, and use sports and dance programs to build character, skill, safer communities, leadership, life and academic skills, team spirit, and pride through healthy competition.

Sportz Center Basketball Academy offers ongoing training and development for boys and girls of all ages in passing, shooting, rebounding, defense, and post-work through one-on-one coaching and state-of-the-art technology. The summer camp serves toddlers ages 3 and 4 and boys and girls ages 5–14, and every child in the camp receives free breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Purple Pearls Elite Cheer runs year-round for basketball and flag football, includes two practices a week and free tumbling, and includes a uniform, warm-up, hair bows, and socks. Rec Basketball includes eight regular season games played on Saturdays, a team outing, practice twice a week, playoffs, a banquet and trophy, with games played Friday through Sunday.

Their programs include childcare, summer camp, after-school, Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), and virtual learning options that comply with health directives for fighting the pandemic. Sportz Center Academy, the Decatur Basketball Team, and Stone Mountain Dance are described by the organization as a legacy and a gift to their community. The Sportz Center Academy Dance tumble Exempt program emphasizes building friendships and relationships and helping kids build close friendships they will have for a lifetime. They are also embarking on franchising and a charity fund to establish new facilities.

They have honored radio shows and received community support for their outreaches. Over the last three summers, they have provided 300,000 meals to children and families across Decatur and the Metro Atlanta area. In 2020, they provided 1,500 meals daily to hotels, motels, parks, and parking lots, prepared in their kitchen and delivered with vans across 28 sites in the community. They have hired local basketball players and dancers and opened summer jobs for them, and these staff now work with them in their sessions with the children.
