Our Mission

Make Youth Sports Easy to Find

Families deserve a complete view of the youth sports options in their community. We’re starting with a nationwide directory that brings community-based youth sports into one clear, searchable place where organizations can be discovered without having to pay for ads.

Community based youth sports programs bring neighborhoods together. Our directory levels the playing field by helping families see the full picture of youth sports opportunities in their community.

The youth sports experience should be a source of pride for all communities. PlaygroundStars starts with community, because that’s where every great sports story begins.

Make Every Community Program Count

Every youth sports organization has a story, a purpose, and kids counting on them, not just the ones with marketing budgets. As a nonprofit, PlaygroundStars is building a directory that showcases all community based programs fairly, helping families see the full range of opportunities and helping communities grow stronger together.
