Initiatives

Our gameplan for success

  • Play for All - This initiative ensures that all children, regardless of financial background or ability level, have the opportunity to participate in sports. Through fundraising and sponsorships, POSA will cover registration fees, provide equipment, and ensure accessibility for everyone in the community.
  • Future Coaches - This initiative focuses on developing future coaches and leaders within the community. We’ll offer mentoring programs for high school students and young adults interested in learning how to coach, manage teams, and inspire the next generation of athletes.
  • Game Ready - Many kids lack access to the proper equipment for their sport. The Game Ready initiative ensures that every child on a POSA team has the gear they need, from uniforms to protective equipment, leveling the playing field for all participants.
  • Healthy Habits - This initiative focuses on promoting overall well-being through sports. In partnership with local health professionals, POSA will host workshops and provide resources to teach kids about nutrition, mental health, and physical fitness, helping them develop lifelong healthy habits both on and off the field.
  • Volunteers - The heart of POSA is its volunteers. This initiative encourages community involvement by creating volunteer opportunities for families, businesses, and individuals. From coaching to event support, this program ensures everyone can play a part in building a stronger community through sports.
  • Next Level - This initiative provides advanced training and competitive opportunities for youth looking to take their skills to the next level. Through specialized coaching, clinics, and tournaments, we’ll help dedicated players achieve their goals and prepare for higher levels of play.
