Where Sports Become Health Outcomes

Elite Coaches Club Membership Benefits

MORE THAN A COACH

As a coach, we know that you serve and impact the lives and futures of many youth and young adults in need.

Many of the young people you coach have the talent and potential to reach the next level, but their families may not be able to afford everything required to get them there.

You see their talent, believe in their potential, and are not willing to let them miss out on opportunities simply because their families cannot afford them. So what do many coaches do? They reach into their own pockets, often spending money they may not have, to make sure the young people they coach have the opportunity to succeed.

We have come to help.

By joining our Elite Coaches Club, you will be eligible for monthly stipends that can help lessen the financial burden you have been carrying for so long.

We help support you and together, we can help advance healthier outcomes for youth and young adults, beginning throughout the state of Michigan and eventually beyond.
