Coaches are fundamental to LPF, helping us get more kids the access to sports and mentorship they deserve.

Our staff members shared some timeless wisdom they received from their own childhood coaches:

What’s one piece of advice a coach gave you that has stayed with you?

That's why sports matter. They don't just build athletes, they build community and a sense of belonging.

Every kid deserves that circle.

Every fall, a new school year brings new classes, new teachers, and new routines. For a lot of kids, that transition can feel bigger than it should. The first days of school can feel like an uphill climb with a lot of uncertainty.

Access to sports isn't just about playing a game. Research has consistently linked participation in youth sports, particularly team sports, with stronger social connections, higher self-esteem, and an easier adjustment to new environments and routines. (@AspenInstSports )

But that first experience isn’t possible for every child without access to the right equipment.

That’s why every day, we work to make sure more kids have the chance to get out there, get in the game, and discover where their own love of sport begins.

It’s the second week of the @usopen and the competition has been nothing short of incredible so far. As the world watches some of the best tennis players compete on one of the sport’s biggest stages, it’s worth remembering that every player had to start somewhere.

[Leveling the Playing Field @LPFsports]

For kids, that first experience can be the beginning of something much bigger: building confidence, finding community, learning resilience, and discovering a sport they can carry with them for years to come.
