Play Without Limits Program
Every child deserves the chance to discover their strengths, build confidence, and experience the joy of being part of a team. Our Play Without Limits Program removes the financial barriers that prevent kids from participating in organized sports.
We understand that the costs of athletic involvement can quickly add up! Registration fees, uniforms, shoes, equipment, travel, and tournament expenses can put youth sports out of reach for many families. Through this program, Start Ova Foundation covers those essential costs so that every child who shows passion, commitment, and effort can play without worrying about the price.
Our support goes beyond financial help. We work directly with families, coaches, and community partners to ensure that each student has the resources, guidance, and encouragement they need to succeed both on and off the field.
A simple qualification process helps us identify families who truly need assistance. Once approved, participants receive full or partial coverage for all sports-related expenses, allowing them to focus on teamwork, discipline, and personal growth.
The Play Without Limits Program reflects what we believe most deeply: that opportunity should never depend on income, and every young athlete deserves the chance to chase their goals, compete with pride, and grow through the power of sports.
Start Strong Initiative
The Start Strong Initiative motivates students to stay consistent, focused, and engaged in both academics and life. Designed for youth in grades 3–12, this semester-long program encourages personal responsibility and rewards effort, discipline, and community involvement.
Participants commit to maintaining a GPA of 2.5 or higher, volunteering at least once a month, and attending a monthly Start Ova Field Day and Wellness Workshop focused on physical health, mental wellness, and teamwork. Each student also receives character endorsements from a parent or guardian, a teacher, and a community leader such as a pastor, coach, or mentor who can verify their positive behavior and commitment.
When students meet all program requirements, they earn meaningful rewards: a brand-new pair of shoes of their choice (up to $100 value) and an all-expenses-paid Family Fun Day experience for themselves and a parent or guardian.
This program was created to show youth that consistency pays off. By recognizing hard work, accountability, and community service, we aim to build habits that last far beyond a single semester—helping each participant start strong, stay strong, and keep growing into their full potential.
