The barriers to entry for underprivileged children to play sports and participate in physical activity are often too high to overcome. We hope to alleviate this problem.

Sports and physical activity teach children various important life lessons: they open a child's mind, bring together children from various backgrounds, build confidence and self-esteem, and improve mental and physical health.
