Community in Action

The Park City Bulldogs

YSEF has helped with player travel costs, practice shirts and hats, and indoor training expenses, giving children in Bridgeport more opportunities to play travel baseball.

This is bigger than baseball.

“Their support gives our kids opportunities, builds confidence, creates memories, and helps keep them involved in something positive.”

WOMEN’S WRESTLING

Kayla Batres

With a little help covering travel expenses, Kayla went on to capture a gold medal as Team Connecticut placed 10th in the girls junior division at the U.S. Marine Corps Junior Nationals.

She also made history as the first girl from Connecticut to win a USA Wrestling junior division national championship.

YOUTH BASKETBALL LEAGUE

Jerome Orcutt Boys & Girls Club

YSEF launched a 10-week basketball league providing young athletes ages 5–11 the opportunity to play, learn, and grow, completely free of charge.

Through organized games, coaching, and referee-supported play, these kids are building confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills that will last long after the final buzzer.

Everyone deserves
a chance to shine.

Adaptive and inclusive opportunities are part of YSEF’s commitment to access for all.

Your support can help with registration, uniforms, equipment, competition and travel expenses, and local youth programs.

Together, we can keep kids in sports.

Give a child the chance to play, feel included, and discover what they can do.
