ABOUT
Cleats For Athletes

Learn about our mission, values, and the impact we strive to make. Together, let's make a lasting difference, one pair of cleats at a time.

MISSION:

At "Cleats for Athletes," we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to pursue their passion for American football, regardless of their economic background. Our organization is founded on the fundamental philosophy that access to quality sports equipment should never be a barrier to a child's participation in sports. We strive to create a level playing field, where every young athlete has the chance to unleash their potential and build character through the game of football.

Core Values

​

  1. Equality and Inclusion: We champion the idea that every child, regardless of their economic circumstances, should have equal access to sports. We strive to create an inclusive environment where all kids can participate in American football, fostering a sense of belonging and community.

  2. Empowerment Through Sport: We firmly believe in the transformative power of sports. Through football, children learn essential life skills such as teamwork, discipline, leadership, and resilience. By providing them with the necessary equipment, especially quality cleats, we empower these young athletes to not only excel on the field but also in various aspects of their lives.

  3. Community Engagement: Our organization actively engages with communities, schools, and local sports organizations to identify children who may face barriers to participating in American football due to the lack of appropriate gear. By collaborating with local partners, we ensure that our impact is targeted and meaningful, reaching those who need it the most.
