Up2Us is leading a national movement to advance sports as a tool for addressing the critical issues facing youth in this nation, including childhood obesity, academic failure and anti-social behavior. Up2Us accomplishes this by supporting a national network of nearly 500 member organizations operating in all fifty states. Together, these organizations serve 20 million youth through both traditional and non-traditional sports. In joining Up2Us, these members pledge to share best practices; advance initiatives that extend opportunities to new players; and deliver quality programs in underserved communities where there is a tremendous need for constructive outlets for kids.
