Empowering Every Young Athlete to Reach Their Sports Potential

Empower the Players was founded by Katelyn Messina, a young athlete who saw a need to help her peers have a fair chance at participating in the sports they love. At Empower The Players, we envision a world where every young athlete can access the sports that inspire them. Whether it's soccer, basketball, volleyball, or any other sport, we believe that participating in higher-level club sports is essential for a young athlete's growth. We strive to eliminate barriers so that all athletes, regardless of background or circumstances, can pursue their passion and thrive.
