Why Chance Sports?
At Chance Sports, we’re dedicated to providing scholarships to competitive athletes in order to level the playing field for families who are not able to afford the rising costs. Our families fuel our efforts and are our number 1 priority. We’re working side by side with sport clubs and their athletes to offer new and continued opportunities to play competitive sports.
