Our heart · 501(c)(3)

No athlete should be left behind.

Our foundation covers training for military and low-income families: scholarships, gear, and mentorship from people who've served. And because of our "Cleared to Play" rule, no coach ever learns which athletes are on aid, so nobody gets treated differently.

Meet the Foundation

Give your athlete more than a season.
Give them a foundation.

Brand-new to the game or already chasing a varsity spot, your athlete has a place here.
