Partner with us to keep kids playing
We pay player costs directly to clubs that meet our standards, so no family in your program has to choose between the season and the bills.
1. Apply
How it works
Fill out the short form below. It takes about ten minutes.
2. Review
We review every club against the same written standards before any funding goes out, and again every year.
3. Agreement
Approved clubs sign an assistance agreement. From there, we pay player costs directly to the club.
What we require
To qualify, a club must:
Offer legitimate, structured training
Be legally registered and in good standing with the State of California and a recognized governing body
Carry liability insurance
Use coaches who hold recognized coaching education or licensing
Make sure every coach passes a criminal background check and completes mandated-reporter and abuse-prevention training
Have a written code of conduct that prohibits verbal, emotional, and physical abuse and gives families a way to report concerns
Pass a reputational review of the club and its coaches, including public disciplinary databases and community references
We will not support any club that allows youth access to anyone with a disqualifying background or credible allegations of misconduct. These standards apply to every club equally.
Where the money goes
Families apply to us directly, and we tell them exactly what we paid on their behalf
We pay the club directly, only against an invoice tied to a specific player
Clubs disclose any other aid a player receives; we pay only the remaining balance
Funds cover approved player costs only, and any unused amount is returned
We never pay cash to families
These are charitable funds for kids. Giving false information to obtain them, or using them for anything else, may be fraud under California and federal law, and we will report it.
