Allen Sports Club is a nonprofit after school youth program held here at Dominican University of California. The program was designed by John Allen who is a longtime supporter of Dominican University as a former
Board Member and our Division II athletic programs.
Allen Sports Club is a program that involves all aspects of the community. We
partner with our local schools from 6th - 12th grades and invite them to Dominican to play sports after school from 3:30 PM - 5:15 PM a few days per week. This is a free program that relies heavily on
volunteers from our sport programs and
donations. We aim to keep participants away from drugs, alcohol, video games and other activities that hinder youth at this age. We bring them to our university campus where they can get a taste of the higher learning environment while getting to use top notch fields and engage with top notch Division II athletes.

JOHN ALLEN:
John F. Allen was born and raised in an iconic “River City, Iowa” town during the 1950’s, where he was first introduced to the real estate investment industry through working with his father. After graduating from the University of Iowa, and serving the U.S. Army, John attended UC Berkeley Business School to further his professional education. Bringing the Allen Family real estate tradition to California, in the late 1970’s, John made numerous investments in the San Francisco Bay Area. These projects ranged from office to retail spaces, to condominiums and multifamily housing. John served as Chairman of the Board at Dominican University for four years and is responsible for founding the Allen Sports Club, an after school sports program directed towards providing structure, athletic community and an introduction to a college environment for at risk children. John currently sits on the board of the Bay Area Sports Hall Of Fame and the Commonwealth Club of California.
