Sponsor an athlete · Finish 2026 strong

$750 gives one athlete unlimited elite training for the rest of 2026.

We remove the financial barrier between a committed student-athlete and world-class training. Every athlete we sponsor qualifies for their school's Free or Reduced Lunch program. These are kids with the drive, the character, and the grades, but not the disposable income.

You aren't buying a gym membership. You're funding the rest of a kid's season, and the discipline that goes with it.

Who qualifies

Athletes earn it by keeping their commitments.

Support is reviewed on a recurring basis and is not automatic. Every sponsored athlete must meet all five standards.

  1. 01

    Financial need

    Qualify for their school's Free or Reduced Lunch program. Documentation is required and re-verified annually.

  2. 02

    Grades

    Maintain a 2.8 cumulative GPA, with a progress plan if they dip below.

  3. 03

    Service

    Complete 4 hours of community service every month with a school, church, nonprofit, or community program.

  4. 04

    Faith

    Be an active member of a local church, confirmed by a pastor or youth leader.

  5. 05

    Character

    Show up on time, respect coaches and teammates, and carry themselves well on and off the field.

Why now

There are three months left in 2026.

For a junior, this fall is the film that gets evaluated. For a freshman or sophomore, it's the foundation everything else is built on. The athletes on our list are ready today. The only thing missing is the funding.

100% of your donation funds athletes.

The Opportunity Locker Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and Zeffy charges us nothing. You'll receive a tax receipt automatically.
