Why It Matters

Sports should open doors for all
young people.

Today, the system often keeps motivated students from reaching their potential.

Access is unequal

Only 1 in 5 children from low-income families are active five days per week.

Rising costs, limited facilities, and underfunded public programs leave too many young people without a realistic path to participate.

Support is inconsistent

1 in 3 youth have quit playing sports over the last two years.

Top-notch resources are provided to communities with the highest incomes. Everyone else is left behind.

Resources are fragmented

Over 60% of parents report struggling to afford the costs of their children's sports activities.

Schools, coaches, and families struggle to fund resources while balancing daily responsibilities. This is not sustainable for most communities.
