The Every Kid Sports Pass provides youth sports grants so more kids experience the joy and benefits of playing.

Cost is the #1 barrier keeping kids from playing youth sports.

We partner with individuals and organizations to fund our Every Kids Sports Pass. The Pass serves qualifying families, who could use help with sports registration fees. We encourage families to apply four times per year, per kid for our youth sport scholarship, allowing for multi-sport experiences and kid choice.

A high-level overview of what we do and why we do it.

Our motivation: The cost of playing.

$11 return on investment for every dollar spent.

Researchers* estimate the average benefit-cost ratio for Social Emotional Learning interventions is 11 to 1. This means that, on average, for every $1 invested in sports, there is a return of $11 due to improved health and increased work and earnings, as well as reductions in substance abuse, crime, and incarceration.

The average child spends less than three years playing a sport, having to quit by age 11.

Cost is the issue. 33.4% of kids ages 6 to 12 from homes with $25,000 or less were physically inactive, compared to just 9.9% of kids from $100,000+ homes.
