Overview
Elite Tournaments has proudly partnered with Leveling the Playing Field to collect used sports equipment to give to underprivileged communities where children may not have affordable access to sporting goods and programs. They have donated over 100,000 items to youth sports organizations allowing them to reduce the cost of entry into these programs. Leveling the Playing Field’s donations have also allowed these programs to hire and train more staff for additional programs and more personalized coaching. We will be collecting used sports equipment for Leveling the Playing Field at all of our tournament locations! Donations can be dropped off at the headquarters area or with your field marshal.
