Athletic Performance Foundation provides a service to the youth community and makes an impact on their lives.
There’s been a nearly 10% decline in athletic participation for kids in the last decade and the rate of decline has been steadily increasing year to year. It’s an epidemic. This disparity is due in large part to the level of household income. Children from low-income households are less than half as likely to participate in youth sports, and that gap is only growing.
Youth sports have become an arena split into “haves” and “have-nots”. Money is the largest indicator of determining whether a child is going to play sports or be physically active. Whether children are physically active also plays into what kind of adult they will become. Studies have shown that children who are physically active are less likely to be obese, they are better in the classroom, and more likely to be successful in college.

Determined to leave no child behind, no matter their circumstances, the programs we have offer key life skills for each child.
Kids will have a chance to be a part of a unique organization, learning to work together, fostering key leadership and social skills, and having fun while leading a healthier active lifestyle.
Our foundation will be a driving point of change impacting not only the youth who participate, but also the communities that all our participants come from. We seek to affect positive change for all to lead a healthier, active lifestyle and always aim to achieve big!
