Building Opportunity
Through Sports.
Our mission is simple: remove financial barriers, strengthen access to organized athletics and help Arizona youth experience the developmental power of sports.
Our Mission
The Arizona Youth Sports Foundation is dedicated to ensuring disadvantaged young athletes have the opportunity to participate, grow and succeed through sports. We provide scholarships, equipment and resources to underserved youth, families and organizations by removing financial barriers that can prevent children from experiencing the benefits of organized athletics.
Through sports, we strive to help build confidence, character, teamwork, discipline and lifelong connections while empowering Arizona’s youth to reach their full potential both on and off the field. Our mission is to create a more inclusive sporting community where every child has the opportunity to play, belong and thrive.
Play. Belong. Thrive.
We believe access to sports can create meaningful moments of growth. Our role is to help make those moments possible for children, families and community-based programs that need additional support.
