A football team stands together like a family, illustrating the mission of A Team is a Family Foundation to help children in foster care join sports.

This is Our Family

For children in foster care, life can change in an instant.

A team is not a luxury; it is a lifeline. It's a place to belong.

Join the Community

Your contribution makes an immediate, tangible impact. To promote inclusiveness and support the selfless homes providing care, our support is available for both the child in foster care and the caregivers' other children. We work directly with families to fund the specific needs that get them in the game, including:

  • League registration and tournament fees

  • Complete uniforms and cleats

  • All necessary sports-specific equipment

  • Reliable transportation to practices and games*

We cover the costs, so they can cover the bases.

The Reality of the Sidelines

From the sidelines, you see more than just a game. You see the easy laughter between teammates, the encouraging high-fives from a coach, and the shared joy of a common goal.

These aren't just plays; they are the small, powerful moments that build a family. For a child in foster care, a team can be a family. Being sidelined isn't just missing a game; it's losing a chance to belong.
