Athletically Challenged is proud to announce an innovative new program designed to remove the financial burden from parents while empowering communities to support their local student-athletes. This groundbreaking initiative provides athletes with the opportunity to receive professional media coverage and brand-building support that can help them secure college opportunities—without their families having to shoulder the cost.
During the 2025 Winter and 2026 Spring sports seasons, Athletically Challenged will sponsor 5 teams and 20 student-athletes across every sport. Participation is open on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring athletes of all backgrounds have a fair shot.
How It Works
- Community-Powered Sponsorships: Each athlete will receive a personal sponsorship link they can share with friends, family, and supporters. Community members can choose to sponsor an athlete for 1 game or even an entire season.
- Charity Impact: With every donation, 10% will be given back to a local charity, ensuring that the program uplifts not only athletes but also the broader community.
- Comprehensive Media & Exposure: Sponsored athletes will receive high-quality media coverage, branding support, and NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) guidance. Athletically Challenged will also assist with recruitment visibility, connecting athletes with college coaches and creating real pathways to higher education.
Why It Matters
“Our mission has always been to make sure athletes don’t get overlooked,” said Eric, Founder of Athletically Challenged. “This program allows communities to invest directly in the success of their local athletes. Every highlight, every story, every moment of media coverage can be the difference that helps a student earn a scholarship and achieve their dreams.”
By giving communities the power to rally behind their athletes, Athletically Challenged is reimagining what support looks like in youth and high school sports. Instead of families carrying the financial burden, the responsibility is shared by everyone who believes in the athlete’s journey.
