We put gear in the hands of kids who can't afford it and build free, inclusive sports leagues in neighborhoods that need them most. No child sits out for the cost.
A pair of cleats, a registration fee, a ride to practice — small barriers keep thousands of kids on the sidelines. We remove them.
The May Youth Sports Foundation provides free equipment, covers league fees, and creates safe, well-coached teams for children in under-resourced communities. Because when a kid gets to play, they learn to lead, to belong, and to believe in what's next.
Year-round leagues, camps, and clinics — every one free or scholarship-backed for families who need it.
