About Strong Start Initiative
Sports shape young lives. We make sure every student athlete gets the chance—on the field, in the classroom, and in the community.
Our Story & Why We Exist
Founded by coaches, mentors, and lifelong fans, Strong Start has seen firsthand how athletics build discipline, teamwork, confidence, leadership, resilience, accountability, and goal-driven perseverance.
Too many students miss those lessons because of barriers—fees, gear, transportation, academic pressure, or mental health needs. We exist to remove those barriers so potential can become progress.
