"I'm most excited about perfecting my flips this cheer/tumbling season. My favorite thing is the fun in being flexible. I just want to say thank you so much!"

- Madyson

“As a mom, I felt as if I unlocked a huge door of opportunity for my daughter once I was approved for the grant and able to tell my kid, ‘Ok lets go!’ One of the principles I instill in my girls is you must put in the work! So, they know as children their job consists of both great academic and athletic performance. But the door must be opened for them to be able to perform and Every Kid Sports did that for us! The application process was smooth and easy, minimizing stress in my already stressful world, so I'd like to thank Every Kid Sports as a whole by saying we truly appreciate you!”

– Daiqari, Madyson's mom

Every Kid Sports Pass

Cost is the #1 barrier keeping kids from playing youth sports.

Our solution is the Every Kid Sports Pass. The Every Kid Sports Pass helps families on Medicaid, SNAP, or WIC with sports registration fees so their kids can experience the joy and benefits of playing.

A parent or guardian can apply for the Every Kid Sports Pass for every kid, age 4-18, in their family up to $150 three times a year. They can apply for any local recreational league in their community. The parent or guardian fills out a short application online. Applications are reviewed and approved within 7 business days. The sports registration fees are loaded onto a controlled digital Visa card through an app with our partner Chek Spend. The process is completely private, allowing families to maintain their dignity, to register online or in person just like anyone else.

Our dream is to help 100,000 kids each year, requiring $18,500,00 in funding, from low-income families play youth sports. Together, we’ll make that dream their reality.

We pay. Kids play.

T-Mobile Little League Call Up Grant

The T-Mobile Little League® Call Up Grant is dedicated to helping families in need by covering registration fees associated with their local Little League program. T-Mobile and Little League share the belief that every child should have the chance to experience Little League, regardless of their financial or personal situation.

The T-Mobile Little League Call Up Grant offers a simple-to-use application to assist families in need with registration fees. Our goal is to provide resources to get and keep children on the field.

Prior to applying, families should identify their local league by visiting PlayLittleLeague.org and reach out to their league for more information about registration dates and fees.
