The Play Forever Project
Participating in sports has so many benefits for young athletes, from increased fitness, physical and mental health, better performance in school and ability to navigate social groups, and improved leadership qualities and lifelong success in work.
More importantly, playing sports as a youth reduces risky behaviors and oftentimes provides a vital community of friends and mentors for young athletes.

Our Mission
The Play Forever Project was created to eliminate barriers, many of them financial, to participating in sports both safely and equitably. Our goal is to make sports accessible to everyone, anywhere we can be the most impactful.
The Sandlot Gang
Founded by members of the cast of The Sandlot, The Play Forever Project was inspired by the idea of helping young athletes, and those with a dream of a future involved in sports.
Step up to the plate.
We believe that playing any sports as kids or young adults grows character, teaches valuable life skills such as communication and sportsmanship, and builds resiliency through competition.
Help Kids Play Forever
The Play Forever Project is here to change outcomes. Tell us your story and let us know how Play Forever can help you.
We will be trying to help as many kids as possible continue their dream in sports. Once a month we’ll select a charity or organization and make a contribution to their efforts.
