In 2025, Up2Us Sports has a bold new plan to place more trained sports coaches in more schools across the country than ever before. This year, we will support coaches in more than 30 sports in 100 underserved neighborhoods across the United States. Our coaches will continue to be lifelines for kids who need adult mentors in their lives. Our goal is not just to provide schools and communities with coaches, it’s to address the mental health crisis by directly supporting youth with coaches who are also their mentors.
Will you join us in our #ThanksCoach campaign by making a donation? All donations will be used to play it forward by helping us recruit and train a coach to lead a team of children and show them that they matter.
