Healthfirst Partners with TeamSnap to Make Youth Sports More Accessible
supported across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Manhattan, Rockland County, Westchester County, and Orange County
Healthfirst has partnered with TeamSnap to make youth sports more accessible to thousands of young families by sponsoring leagues across New York. Their sponsorships help youth sports leagues fund expenses such as equipment, uniforms, umpires’ fees, travel, field maintenance, and more. Through the partnership, Healthfirst has reached over 30,000 families with messages about the importance of physical activity for children, how to keep them healthy while active, nutritional tips, the importance of annual doctor checkups, and the benefits of staying up to date with vaccinations.

"Pelham Bay Soccer Club is a premier soccer club in the Bronx. Our goal is to not only help athletes hone their soccer skills but to also give them the tools to excel in all areas of life. The club creates an exciting setting where players are challenged, nurtured, rewarded and provided with positive feedback. We offer programs for players of all genders, age and backgrounds. Sponsorships enable us to keep our registration fee low each year. In addition, it helps validate the club and gives us the opportunity to provide affordable soccer to more players in the Bronx-Westchester county region."

"We are a non-profit boys and girls club within the heart of the City of Yonkers. We represent the diversity of Yonkers. In the fall, we offer three sports: soccer, flag football, and softball. We have approximately 400 active participants in the fall. Our sponsorship funds go to free registrations to families that cannot afford it and then to equipment (balls, cones, goals, etc.). This allows us to keep our registration costs low and allows more families to join. We are also a 100% volunteer organization."
