ABOUT US
Stay In The Game Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to empowering young athletes to pursue their dreams. We believe that all young athletes, regardless of their background, should have access to the resources they need to succeed. That's why we provide grant funding to help young athletes keep up with the high cost of sports equipment and training programs. Our mission is to help athletes stay in the game, both on and off the field. We offer career education and resources to give them the best chance for success. Together, we can make a difference and empower young athletes to reach their full potential.
WHY WE ARE FOUNDING THE STAY IN THE GAME FOUNDATION
​
According to the Sports Business Journal, youth sports is a $30 billion dollar industry and while for-profit leagues provide opportunity for players and families to share the joy of athletics, it is often at the expense of those who cannot afford the travel costs, entry fees, additional training, and so on.
Additionally, “a little over 7% of high school athletes (about 1 in 13) go on to play a varsity sport in college and less than 2% of high school athletes (1 in 57) go on to play at NCAA Division I schools,” as verified by ScholarshipStats.com.
At Stay In The Game Foundation, we want to help players keep playing the sports they love, and teach them the many opportunities available to them, beyond becoming a collegiate or professional athlete.
Our goal is to provide grant funding for players to continue their growth as an athlete, funding them to play whatever level of the sport they enjoy. We will offer grant funding for anything from team fees, to season travel for a player and an adult chaperone, to additional training to become a stronger athlete.
Beyond the grant funding, we will develop and provide education and guidance to athletes that could lead them to a career in the many areas the business of sports has to offer - from marketing to the medical field and everything in between.
