Why We Exist

Angels in Sports was created to fill the unmet need of underprivileged student athletes who want to pursue their own personal goals but are hindered by financial circumstances.

Because of poverty, many children struggle to survive and to be educated …


Education often falls to the wayside in dealing with the social inequities related to poverty. Private academic tutoring, publically funded sports leagues or even extracurricular activities, require fees that are out of reach for many young people below the poverty level. Underprivileged children must find affordable activities to occupy their time or find other opportunities to enhance their chances for survival.

For many inner city youth, sports is an outlet to briefly escape their personal social condition …


Despite a low probability of becoming a professional athlete, many children bravely pursue a path to become like their favorite sports icons. Many young student athletes who do not succeed may find themselves making poor life choices.

Help Angels in Sports Today

Angels in Sports exists not only to bring the training — but to bring opportunity to children — a chance to show a child’s full potential without regards to financial burden. Through AIS scholarships, young boys and girls will get the chance to hone their skills in a positive manner that fulfill their goals athletically and academically — to be an athlete and a valued citizen.

No matter how little, let’s lighten the burden of others. Please donate.

AIS seeks to transform a young person’s perspective — To discover a sustainable path to personal success as an adult


Many studies conclude that the participation in sports, is a positive catalyst in the development of youth into adulthood. In a report done by the National Coalition for Women & Girls in Education (Title IX, Working to Ensure Gender Equality, http://www.ncwge.org/TitleIX40/TitleIX-print.pdf), Studies have found that female participation in sports offers a range of academic benefits. Young women who play sports are more likely to graduate from high school, have higher grades, and score higher on standardized tests than non-athletes.

Sports leads to better short and long-term health, and less opportunity to engage in risky behavior to include high school athletes being to be less likely to use drugs or smoke cigarettes. More striking is the lower rates of sexual activity and pregnancy versus their non-athletic counterparts – Female athletes are less likely than half of their peers to become pregnant in adolescence (Journal of Adolescent Research 42 (2002) Participation in Athletics and Female Sexual Risk Behavior).

Participation in youth sports also leads to a pattern of greater academic achievement — a pattern that is consistent across all community income levels. One statewide, three-year study by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association found that athletes achieved grade point averages that were nearly a full point higher than those of their non-athlete peers, in addition to higher graduation rates (National Federation of State High Schools, The Case for High School Activities, 2008)

The lessons of teamwork, hardwork, leadership, confidence, personal responsibility and self-improvement that boys and girls gain from participating in athletics can help them after graduation as well as during school. Many executives played sports, with the majority saying that lessons learned on the playing field contributed to their success.
