What Grant Options Are Available?
What’s Expected from You?
We want athletes who are excited to grow and be part of our community. If you receive a grant, we’ll ask you to stay involved by helping out in some way, whether that’s volunteering or participating actively in our programs. This means you’ll need to attend practices and games, engage in team events, and help with volunteer projects as needed. The more you put in, the more you’ll get out of the experience. It’s all about growing together!
