Leveling the playing field
Access. Inclusion. Confidence. Opportunity.
Equal Play provides sports equipment, league-fee support, and starter kits so children can experience the life-changing benefits of youth sports.
Our Goal
Equal Play exists to make youth sports accessible to every child, regardless of family income or circumstance.
We believe that participation in sports builds confidence, resilience, teamwork, and belonging — but too many children are excluded simply because equipment, registration fees, and club costs are out of reach.
Equal Play works to close that gap by providing sports equipment, covering participation fees, and supporting access to youth athletic programs in our communities. Our focus is simple: remove financial barriers so kids can show up, play hard, and grow alongside their peers.
Because every child deserves the chance to play — and the benefits that come with it.
How we make a difference
Equal Play turns generosity into real opportunities for children by focusing on the practical barriers that prevent kids from participating in sports.
We Provide Essential Equipment
Many families are forced to choose between paying for gear and opting out entirely. We supply age-appropriate sports equipment so children can participate safely, confidently, and on equal footing with their peers.
We Help Cover Participation Costs
Registration fees, league dues, and club expenses can add up quickly. Equal Play helps offset these costs so financial constraints don’t determine who gets to play.
We Partner with Local Programs
We work directly with schools, youth leagues, and community organizations to identify children who need support and ensure resources are delivered where they have the greatest impact.
We Focus on Access and Inclusion
Our programs are designed to remove barriers — not labels. Support is provided discreetly and respectfully, allowing children to participate with dignity and without stigma.
We Create Lasting Impact
Access to sports builds confidence, discipline, teamwork, and belonging. By opening doors early, we help create positive experiences that extend far beyond the field.
