Building Champions: Youth Sports Programs

Since launching in August 2023, Sports&Support 4 Success™ has delivered inclusive, community-based sports programming that fosters leadership, teamwork, and lifelong skills. From weekend soccer clinics to school-based tournaments, our youth sports initiatives create structured opportunities for children of all backgrounds to thrive—on and off the field.

In March 2025, we led the Inaugural Goal-A-Thon at Transfiguration School in Leimert Park, blending athletic skill-building with fitness and fun. Over 200 students participated in soccer drills, agility courses, and penalty kick competitions. Our lead coaches—Coach Ivan and Coach Bee—provided hands-on instruction while mentoring students throughout the day. Events like this are at the heart of our mission: to use sports as a vehicle for education, empowerment, and community pride.

Our current programming includes:

  • Soccer clinics for grades K–8, led by certified coaches
  • Skill-building sessions focused on agility, teamwork, and sportsmanship
  • Youth tournaments with prize incentives and leadership opportunities
  • Access to golf programming for underserved communities
  • School and community partnerships to bring programming directly to students

We believe that sports should be a gateway—not a barrier—to a brighter future. That’s why our programs remain free or low-cost, with a focus on equity and access.
