Our Mission

Make Youth Sports More Visible

Every community deserves to know what exists in its own backyard. We’re taking the first step by making sure all youth sports opportunities are visible, so families can see the full picture and organizations are no longer overlooked.

Local programs are the heartbeat of youth sports. We support all organizations by increasing visibility, helping them reach more families, and ensuring they are part of a connected experience.

For nonprofit organizations, this and all future versions will always be free. No cost. Ever.

Youth sports should bring people together. We’re helping communities reconnect around the programs, teams, and shared experiences that create pride and belonging.

Every community has stories worth celebrating. We highlight the athletes and role models who started locally, connecting alumni back to their roots and inspiring the next generation.

Build a Better Experience for the Future

This is just the beginning. We’re laying the foundation for a more connected, accessible, and sustainable youth sports experience that communities can build on for years to come.

Put Every Community on the Map

Across the country, incredible youth sports programs exist, but too many go unseen. Your support helps us bring every organization into view so families, kids, and communities know what exists in their own backyard. Because true equity in youth sports means everyone is included.

Keep Youth Sports Free for Nonprofits

We believe cost should never determine who gets to be seen. Your donation helps us keep PlaygroundStars free for nonprofit organizations, now and in the future, so every program can participate without paying to be included.
