WE MAKE PLAY POSSIBLE!
We Play Foundation creates accessibility for youth to participate in sports.
We Play Foundation believes that all children should have the opportunity to participate in sports. Sports have a beneficial, enjoyable, and healthful impact on our youth while imparting important life skills. Every child should have the chance to focus on developing their physical health, confidence-building, and mental and emotional growth. Team sports offer these developmental possibilities and emphasize the value of teamwork.
The rising cost of youth sports has become the primary barrier to participation. The We Play Foundation works to increase athlete access by also providing need-based financial aid for expenses associated with participating in sports.
Our Vision
To encourage kids to become multi-sport athletes and remove any financial barriers to participation in sports.
We follow the Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) program, which is a stage-by-stage approach that gives every child the greatest opportunity to engage in lifelong, health-enhancing physical activity, and ultimately maximize their full potential. This is achieved by encouraging multi-sport participation and proper development-to-competition ratios.
Other benefits of various sports include exposing kids to a variety of physical literacy skills, allowing them to improve their social skills, and increasing their enjoyment of physical and emotional activities through sports. It prepares them for a lifetime of physical activity, connections, and positive experiences.
