We Build Young Leaders!
Low income kids are more than likely to quit youth sports due to cost
Do you know that there are several families in our communities that don't have access to youth sports and proper programs that can increase developmental benefits for their children. Every day there are children don't have access to positive spaces which decreases safety in our communities and increases crime and unproductive behavior in our youth. Sustained involvement in sport is associated with better outcomes, therefore it is important to provide low income youth not only with the means necessary to participate in sport, but the on-going support to continue in their endeavors. Without youth sports and out of school programs kids are at a disadvantage.
