What we do
One city. More ways to play.
Play Equity Baltimore brings youth, coaches, community organizations, schools, recreation partners, and supporters together to make youth sports easier to find, safer, stronger, and more equitable.
01 / 03
Connect Youth to Sports
We are building a citywide map and directory to help families find affordable programs, facilities, teams, and youth-development resources.
02 / 03
Strengthen Coaches and Programs
Our Coach and Mentor Academy will provide practical training, shared standards, and tools for safe and supportive programs.
03 / 03
Elevate Youth Voice
Young people will identify barriers, evaluate opportunities, advise community leaders, and shape the future of youth sports in Baltimore.
Why the HUB is needed
A connected system changes the game.
Baltimore has many organizations doing valuable work, but families can still have difficulty finding programs and navigating costs, transportation, equipment, facilities, and seasonal changes.
Play Equity Baltimore will connect these separate efforts into a more coordinated youth-sports system.
