Dedication + Opportunity
Chance Sports is a 501(c)(3) non-profit scholarship organization dedicated to removing financial barriers that prevent young athletes from accessing competitive club sports. We provide need-based funding to families who qualify — because a lack of income should never be the reason a deserving kid has to sit on the sidelines.
Our name says everything we believe to be true. Give someone a chance — a real opportunity, a level playing field, a reason to hope — and you can change the trajectory of their life. We have watched too many talented, hardworking kids get left out of competitive sport simply because their families couldn't afford it. That ends here.
From community courts and fields to neighborhoods, schools, and cities — the impact of what we do ripples far beyond the game. One athlete. One life. One chance at a time.
Athletes
We offer need-based scholarships to competitive athletes ages 8–19 across Colorado and Western Michigan. These athletes have earned their spot — we make sure finances don't take it away. If your child plays competitive club sport and your family needs support, we want to hear from you.
Clubs
We are proud to partner with 190+ competitive sport clubs across Colorado and Western Michigan. Our club partners play a critical role in identifying athletes with financial need and helping us get funding to the right kids at the right time. If your club isn't a partner yet, joining is free and takes just a few minutes.
Donors
When opportunity is equal, it becomes about talent — not access. The reason a kid doesn't make it should never be because they couldn't afford to try. Our donors make it possible for us to say yes to more athletes, fund more opportunities, and keep more kids in the game.
Every gift, at any level, makes a difference.

Chance Sports Mission:
To provide student-athletes with the financial support they need to access competitive club sports — and through those sports, to develop the leadership, resilience, and team building skills that will shape who they become on and off the field, for the rest of their lives.
We cover the real costs of competitive sport so your athlete can focus on what matters most — the game.
Getting started is simple. Here's how the process works:
Chance Sports partners with Chek, a trusted payments platform built for non-profits, to deliver scholarship funds directly to awarded athletes via a digital spending card. Funds can be used online or in-person at approved sport-related vendors, and can be added to your mobile wallet for easy tap-to-pay — no physical card required.
Athlete Spotlights: 
On the Field
Beyond the Game 
With their help, our kids have a CHANCE.
None of this would be possible without the generosity of our funding partners. Their belief in what we do — and in the athletes we serve — is what allows us to say yes to more families, fund more scholarships, and grow a community built on opportunity and equal access.
To every partner who has invested in a Chance Sports athlete: you are not just funding a sport. You are funding a future. We see you, we are grateful for you, and we are honored to do this work alongside you.
Leveling thePlaying Field.
The possibilities of competitive club sports extend far beyond the field. That’s why Chance Sports is breaking down barriers, working to create more opportunities and helping to level the playing field. Together.
