Giving Every Athlete Resources
About us
Here at G.E.A.R. we seek to reduce economic barriers such as Pay-to-play fees, athletic department financial constraints, and insufficient athletic equipment that hinder participation in youth organized athletics. Public school budget reductions paired with increased operating expenses have resulted in limited funding available for many public school athletic departments. Many public schools have resorted to charging students Pay-to-Play fees. G.E.A.R. wants to empower youth with the multifaceted benefits of organized athletics that can develop a foundation for winning in life. In collaboration with community organizations, corporations, local businesses, professional athletes, and private investors; G.E.A.R. is able to fundraise the necessary support capital. We work hard to identify partner athletic departments (“AD”) that are in need, understand their needs, and define a support plan for them. We then use the capitol raised to procure and distribute the athletic equipment. At G.E.A.R. we also develop community-based events, such as athletic camps and trainings to increase and support participation. Our goal is to increase participation in youth sports by providing resources and more opportunities.

Athletes, it’s time to give your body the care it deserves! Stretching isn't just a pre-game ritual – it's a powerful tool that can keep you flexible and injury-free on the field, court, or track. 🌟 Make stretching a priority with these essential stretches: ➡️ Forward Lunges – Open up your hips and legs for more dynamic movement. ➡️ Side Lunges – Strengthen your legs and improve lateral movement. ➡️ Seat Stretch – Flex those hips and stretch your glutes. ➡️ Standing Quad Stretch – Keep your quads flexible and ready for action! G.E.A.R. believes that every athlete should have access to the resources needed to perform at their best! 💥 Stretching is a simple yet powerful way to improve performance and prevent injury. 👉 Share this with an athlete you know and help them stay at their best! #GEAR #StretchToWin #GearUp #AthleteWellness #InjuryPrevention #BetterPerformance #YouthAthletes #YouthAthletics #FinancialConstraints #FinancialBarriers #YouthEmpowerment #AthleticsForAll #MakingADifference #UnlockPotential #BreakBarriers #EmpowerYouth #LevelThePlayingField #SportsForAll #AthleticEquality #YouthEmpowerment #CommunitySupport #YouthDevelopment

Sports do more than just build athleticism – they shape character and influence the path our youth take in life. Through sports, young athletes learn discipline, commitment, and how to handle challenges, all of which carry over into every aspect of life. 🌟 Sports also play a crucial role in shaping attitudes and mindsets. Coaches, parents, and teammates all contribute to an athlete's development, instilling valuable lessons that go far beyond the game. 🤝 At G.E.A.R., we’re dedicated to ensuring all youth have the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive through athletics.
