"All kids need to be active so they can grow up safe, healthy and ready to learn" says Janet Carter, Coaching Corps’ executive director. "But in the face of severe budget cuts, many schools and after-school programs can't give kids what they need. That puts kids in struggling communities on the frontlines of risk for so many preventative health conditions."
In addition to providing coaches to after-school programs through Coaching Corps, we support initiatives and legislation that levels the playing field for the kids with the least opportunity to reap the life-long benefits of sports participation.
