For many young athletes, success is shaped not only by effort, but also by access to the right support systems. Across the United States, millions of young athletes lack access to basic resources that help them stay healthy and perform their best.

• 7.2 million U.S. children live in food-insecure households, limiting consistent access to proper nutrition.
•  About 1 in 3 U.S. high schools (≈6,800 schools) lack access to an athletic trainer, affecting roughly 4–5 million students.
• Approximately 3.5 million youth sports injuries are treated in emergency departments each year, many preventable with basic training and education.
• Only about half of U.S. high schools report having access to a certified strength and conditioning coach, with lower access in underserved communities.

Too often, young athletes are not just competing against other teams; they are competing against gaps in access.

A future where every young athlete has access to the foundations needed to perform, stay healthy, and reach their potential.

Sports Performance Access is a youth-led nonprofit dedicated to closing the access gap in youth athletics by providing nutrition support, injury prevention tools, and performance education to young athletes who may not otherwise have access to these foundational resources.
