Youth Sports Scholarship program
Empowering the Next Generation of Local Heroes
The PLA It Forward Youth Sports Program gives underserved youth across South Florida the opportunity to participate in organized sports by providing scholarships, equipment, and access to safe, inclusive athletic environments.
Through our partnership with community organizations like the YMCA of South Florida and JR Media’s Community League, we’re building confidence, leadership, and resilience in tomorrow’s heroes—helping them grow stronger both on and off the field.

We provide:
- Scholarships to cover registration and league fees
- Uniforms & Equipment for safe, confident play
- Transportation Assistance to practices and tournaments
- Mentorship & Skill Development opportunities through local partnerships
