A Southern California Youth Sports Nonprofit
Play It Forward SoCal opens the door to youth sports for children across our community, because the lessons learned on the court and field last a lifetime. Pass it on. Play it forward.
Play It Forward SoCal believes that no child should miss out on the chance to play because of cost, access, or circumstance. We work to put more children in the game, on teams where they can grow, belong, and thrive.
This is just the beginning. As our programs take shape, this page will grow with the teams, stories, and impact we build together across Southern California.
Youth sports teach teamwork, discipline, and confidence, and they keep children connected to mentors and community. For many children, a spot on a team is a turning point. We're here to make sure more children get that shot.
A simple game plan for how we help young athletes get on the field and stay there. (Program details coming soon.)
We remove the barriers, fees, gear, and access, that keep children on the sidelines, so more young athletes can join a team.
Through coaching, mentorship, and encouragement, we help children grow their skills and their confidence, on and off the field.
Every child we lift up is encouraged to do the same for the next one, keeping the spirit of the game moving forward.
It takes a whole community to keep children in the game. Whether you give your time, your support, or your voice, you help a young athlete play it forward.
