About UsOur Story
Built by a parent who's been there
ValorForce Youth Athletics Foundation is a Texas 501(c)(3) nonprofit with one plain purpose: keep kids in the game — because we know exactly what it takes to work full time, raise a family, and still fight to keep your kids involved, growing, and off the streets.
Where It Started
A coach who saw kids priced out of the game
ValorForce was founded in Central Texas by a U.S. Army veteran who coached his own children in multiple sports — the way so many Texas parents do. When his kids moved on to play for other organizations, he watched the costs climb: registration fees, uniforms, cleats, travel. Season after season, he saw the same thing happen. Good, hard-working kids — the kind who show up early and give everything at practice — getting left out simply because of money. Not effort. Not attitude. Just money.
The First Scholarship
Someone did it for us first
We didn't start this foundation from a place of abundance — we started from a place of gratitude. When our family couldn't afford the costs, an organization saw that our sons were honest, hard-working kids and granted them scholarships so they could keep playing. We never forgot what that meant: two boys got to stay on the field, and a parent got to keep a promise. ValorForce exists to pass that same generosity forward, family by family.
How Far We've Come
We're just getting started
Here's the honest truth: we're at the very beginning. We don't sit on an endowment, and we won't pretend to be bigger than we are. Every scholarship we award from this day forward is funded directly by donations from people and businesses in this community. When our community gives, a kid plays. That's the whole model — and it means your gift isn't a drop in a big fund. It's the reason a specific kid in Central Texas gets a season.
“An organization believed in our boys when we couldn't cover the cost. ValorForce is how we pay that forward — with faith in our God leading the way.”
What Guides Us
Faith, opportunity, and community — for every sport, every kid
Guided by faith in God, we support young athletes in every sport, at every level, regardless of background or ability to pay. We back kids who show heart, effort in school, strong morals, and a team-first attitude — and we believe a roster spot builds the discipline, friendships, and confidence that carry into the classroom and far beyond.
Sports were never meant to be a luxury item. When a family can't cover registration, cleats, a uniform, or a travel weekend, we step in so the season doesn't end before it starts — and every dollar is paid straight to leagues and equipment providers.
Secure giving happens right here on this page — 501(c)(3) tax-deductible.

Why We Exist
The rising cost of play is sidelining young athletes
No child should lose their spot on a roster because a registration form came with a price tag their family couldn't carry. We step in with scholarships and direct financial assistance so kids stay on the field, in the gym, and on the track.
Here's the honest part: we don't sit on an endless fund. Every scholarship we award is funded directly by generous community donations and sponsors — which means the number of kids we can say yes to this season depends entirely on what our community gives today.
All Sports.
All Kids.
All Dreams.
Registration
League dues and insurance climb every season, pricing families out before tryouts begin.
Gear & Uniforms
Cleats, pads, gloves, and jerseys can cost more than a month of groceries.
Travel
Tournaments, gas, and hotel nights quietly turn youth sports into a luxury.
Rising Costs
As prices rise, talented kids are sidelined for reasons that have nothing to do with ability.
Impact Tiers
Choose the impact you want to make
Every dollar goes toward keeping a kid on a roster. Give once, or become a monthly supporter and fund an athlete all year long.
The tiers below are examples of what your gift can do — they're not fixed amounts. Give whatever feels right for you; we're here to help our community, all kids, all sports, and all dreams.
Scholarships are awarded only as donations come in — there is no endless fund behind us. When our community gives, a kid plays.
What your gift actually covers: the amounts above are examples of what giving can do, not a price list and not a promise about any single item. Every family's need looks different, so we match whatever funds come in to the real needs in front of us — fees, gear, uniforms, or travel — as families apply.
Every dollar matters. Whether it's $10, $35, or $500, any gift helps a child stay active and included. You don't need to pick a tier above — any amount helps. Tax-deductible under our 501(c)(3) status.

Common Questions
Flexible amounts. Real help.
Whether you're a family applying for support or a donor giving what you can, nothing here is one-size-fits-all. Here's how it works for different budgets and needs.
Amounts are never set in stone. Every family's situation — and every sport — is different, so we shape assistance around what you actually need. That can mean $25 toward a pair of cleats, help covering part of a registration fee, a uniform, essential gear, or full season support. No request is too small, and asking for partial help never hurts your chances. We're simply here to keep your athlete in the game.
Absolutely. The $50, $125, and $250 amounts are examples of what a gift can help with — not fixed price tags, and not a promise about what any one gift covers. You can give any amount, whether that's $10, $35, or $1,000, and every dollar goes toward supporting young athletes: registration fees, equipment, uniforms, and travel. Every dollar matters, and every dollar plays.
That's exactly what we're for. We support whatever hurdle stands between a kid and the field — cleats, a helmet, a uniform, travel costs, or league dues, in any combination. You don't have to need everything to ask for something. No request is too small, and partial help is just as welcome as a full season scholarship.
ValorForce doesn't sit on an endowment — every scholarship is funded directly by community donations and business sponsors. As funds come in, we match them to qualified applicants based on need, character, and timing, then pay funds directly to leagues and equipment providers so kids are suited up and on the field. When our community gives, a kid plays.

You Choose
Custom Partnership
Tell us what you have in mind — a custom gift, an employee match, or in-kind gear and facilities. We'll shape a partnership that fits your business.
Start an inquiryWhat your sponsorship actually covers: these tiers are starting points, not contracts. How many athletes your gift helps depends on what families are asking for that season — fees, gear, uniforms, or travel — so we would rather show you real examples than promise fixed counts.
In-Kind Donations
Not every gift is a check. Gear, space, and apparel go straight to athletes who need them.
Sporting Goods
Cleats, bats, balls, helmets, and pads.
Practice Facilities
Gym time, fields, courts, and cages.
Uniforms
Jerseys, warmups, and team apparel printing.
