Accessibility
Every aspiring athlete deserves the chance to play, regardless of family finances. SportsHero is open to any athlete across every sport, community, and background. We remove the barriers that keep talented kids on the sidelines.
About
No kid should sit on the sidelines because of cost.
SportsHero makes youth sports accessible to every child, regardless of financial barriers. We connect young athletes and their families with sponsors who fund registration, equipment, travel, camps, coaching, and more. The way in is a trading card: the athlete creates a pro-style card, shares it, and that card is how supporters find them and back the season.
It is a simple, transparent platform across 50+ sports. Joy, teamwork, discipline, and the lifelong benefits of play, one sponsorship at a time.
Mission
A chance to play, for every child.
Our mission is to make youth sports accessible to every child, regardless of financial barriers. Families should not have to choose between a season and the cost of getting there. Sponsors should be able to see the athlete, know what the support covers, and trust where it goes.
Values
Transparency
Trust is everything. Sponsors see exactly where support goes. Families get clear visibility into every dollar raised. Communication stays open and honest.
Community
Sports build stronger people and stronger neighborhoods. We make meaningful local connections between athletes and sponsors, families and businesses, kids and mentors. The point is goodwill, pride, and shared purpose beyond the scoreboard.
How the cards help
The card is the introduction.
01
Make the card
An athlete builds a pro-style AI trading card of themselves: portrait, season line, and a link back to their profile. Under 18, a parent consents before the card can go public. What the public sees is a first name and last initial.
02
Share it
The card is how supporters and sponsors discover them. A QR code and a public profile show the season, the wishlist, and exactly what the help is for.
03
Back the season
Sponsorships fund registration, equipment, travel, camps, coaching, and more. Printed cards are coming soon. Rewards and giveaways celebrate the people who show up.
Get in the game.
Create a card for an athlete, or sponsor one who is already in season. Either way, a kid gets to play.
