Our Story
Before marrying Josh in 2017, founder Laura Nichols spent the first half of her daughter's life as a single parent. During this time, she realized how many sacrifices some parents have to make to give their children "extras" in life. For many families, "extras" include sports. She realized many parents might have to choose between paying bills and allowing their children the incredible opportunity of team sports.
​
"I started thinking about how unfair it is that talented kids can't get the same coaching, equipment, and training due to an inequity of financial support," she said. "Inability to pay shouldn't be an issue for kids to do what they love: play ball!"
Her own life had been shaped by sports. She started playing at just 4 years old and now has coached for the last 15 years.
With the support of her family, Laura used the majority of her pandemic stimulus money to form this organization in 2021.
