PlayItForward connects underserved student-athletes with gently used sports equipment, fulfilling a mission of equal opportunity in youth sports. Our goal is to maximize the range of students who participate in, and learn from, youth sports. We believe that youth sports participation offers key life lessons - Teamwork. Resilience. Discipline. Sportsmanship.  As a student-led coalition, PlayItForward solicits equipment donations from individuals and institutions throughout Connecticut.  Student ambassadors “collect and connect,” by delivering this equipment to schools and programs in need.
