Empowering Youth Through Sports

Providing opportunities for kids to play and grow through sports and community.

About

The Next Play mindset is about moving forward.

In sports and in life, things won’t always go your way—but what matters most is how you respond.

Next Play Foundation was created to give every kid the opportunity to play. We believe sports teach resilience, confidence, and character—lessons that go far beyond the game

Through accessible programs and community-driven events, we aim to remove barriers and create opportunities for youth to grow both on and off the field
