Ensuring Equal Access & Opportunities in Youth Sports M:7 Sports believes that all young athletes – regardless of background, financial circumstances, or living situations – should have equal access to youth sports with the very best coaching, equipment, and competition.

Through the launch of the M:7 Sports Foundation, M:7 Sports aims to eliminate barriers hindering athletes' participation in youth sports, especially those linked to financial constraints. What Are the Barriers to Play?

Limited Access to Infrastructure & Facilities With just 13 indoor multi-sport facilities within 100 miles of Beaver County, local athletes, families, and teams are forced to overcome the financial, time, and transportation challenges to attend training or competition opportunities.

High Registration Fees & League Costs To ensure their children are reaching their full potential in youth sports, many parents want them to play against the best at the club, travel, or AAU levels. Increasingly, this elevated level of competition comes with higher participation costs. In fact, estimated annual costs for cup or club soccer players can range from $2,500 to $10,000 based on the amount of travel.

It’s no secret that the U.S. economy is still grappling with the after effects of the Covid-19 health emergency, and the youth sports market, particularly related to equipment, is no exception. A 2022 study found that 36% of parents expected to spend between $500 and $1,999 on their children’s fall sports expenses, with 59% of parents saying those costs are a “financial strain” on their family.

How Will the M:7 Sports Foundation Address These Barriers? The M:7 Sports Foundation — with the support of its Founding Partners — will help athletes, families, and teams in need through a range of grant programs designed to overcome the financial barriers to participating in youth sports and ensure equitable access to playing opportunities. All grants and related materials will promote the complex’s Founding Partners.
