Making sports accessible to all.

Our mission is to eliminate financial barriers so that any child in the Greater Dayton area can access sports.

We want every young athlete in the Dayton area to have the ability to play. Youth sports break down barriers, have a positive impact on athletes’ self-esteem, improves their physical and mental well-being, and instills a sense of teamwork and leadership. Unfortunately, there is a disparity in the opportunities available to all youth athletes. We exist simply to bring equal access to sports and extracurricular activities for everyone in the Dayton area, regardless of race, gender, or economic status. Everybody Plays is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
