Cost to Parents
The cost of back-to-school supplies averages at $890 per child.¹ Families already struggling to provide basic supplies are not able to purchase equipment their child needs to play.
The Problem at Hand
79% of U.S. children do not meet the daily physical activity guidelines, and this is largely due to lack of access and cost of proper equipment¹.In the communities that Good Sports serves, school is the #1 place children have to play, but opportunity is either too expensive or non-existent. Join us in helping keep kids in play during this year’s back to school season.
School Budget Restraints
The average school P.E. budget is a mere $764 per year.²
Lack of Access
Only 15% of elementary schools around the country require daily recess². Schools nationwide have received a grade of D- for physical fitness, due to lack of access to regular P.E. classes, gym time and equipment.³
The Solution
Good Sports is alleviating the cost barriers in school sports by:
Donating brand-new equipment and apparel to schools in need.
Distributing enough equipment to help P.E. teachers run quality programming, increase minutes of play, and introduce new activities.
Providing quality recess equipment to schools around the country to engage kids of all play interests and abilities.
