Our mission

Provide sports-based youth development to help boys and girls in Chicago’s under-resourced neighborhoods develop confidence, resilience, and life skills

Our goals

• Reduce youth violence using a sports-based youth development model.
• Improve youth's physical health, athletic and academic skills.
• Provide cultural and community enrichment.

  • Help children

    We target at-risk youth, specifically those that have trouble with their academic performance or behavior in and out of school.

  • SPORTS BASED YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

    Youth who participate in organized sports have significantly improved outcomes in discipline, self-respect, teamwork, healthy habits, emotion management, and healthy relationships with peers and authority figures.

  • Opportunity

    Provide socialization and character development that are critical to reducing violent behavior or violence victimization.
