USActive

Being on a sports team provides children with a new social circle outside of school, an opportunity for making new friendships, some of which may last a lifetime. By training with other kids, children participate in different interactions from those they have in school.

Also, their communication and interactions are far richer than the ones they get by simply texting via social media. They win together, they compete among themselves, they lose and deal with defeat together.

Being involved in a sport teaches valuable lessons in teamwork, such as putting yourself in second place for the benefit of the whole team. All of this gives children a new sense of togetherness and belonging.

USActive will offer volleyball and soccer classes to children and teenagers from low-income families starting its operations in California.
The main idea of this project is to promote the socialization of kids and the prevention of bullying among them as well as giving them the opportunity to have access to scholarships and to compete at an elite level.
USActive will (soon) establish partnerships with the school districts of each city, with the aim of ceding the spaces of the local high school for use of court, fields, and patios after school time.
