My project is a brand new / emerging idea

Project Stage

Idea (We’re hoping to get started in the future)

Founding Story: What was the spark that led you to start your project? What was the "Aha!" moment that led you to get started and see the potential for this to succeed?

I’ve umpired and coached in the past but find that youth really respond to coaching when coached and led by their peers.

The Problem: What problem are you helping to solve? Why does it matter to you and your community?

Not enough quality coaches exist

Your Solution: How are you solving this problem? Share your specific solution.

Youth that are currently learning and playing coaching their younger peers will lead to more players wanting to learn and play

Impact: How has your project created impact / made a difference so far? Or, if at an early stage, what will impact look like?

The teenagers and youth will want to play more sports

Your Innovation: What is different about your project compared to other programs or solutions already out there? How is your project new or innovative?

Actual currently players actively coaching youth

How many people are on your team?

Your team: What role(s) do your team members play? How do you share leadership with them?

We have several softball and baseball players reedy to coach

What’s Next: What are the next steps you plan to take to grow or strengthen your project over the next year? If your project is still in the idea stage, describe the steps you will take over the next three months to launch or begin developing it.

Work with local schools and community centers to find youth to coach

How do you encourage other people to join your project or learn about the problem you’re working on? If you have a new idea, tell us how you will do this in the future.
