About
Join the League
A Community Partnership Built to Empower Youth Through Sports, Leadership, and Wellness
Join the League™ is a collaborative initiative powered by Temple Made Foundation (TMF), BSAA Football, and Operation Breakthrough. Together, we are building a model for youth sports that strengthens families, expands access, and supports long-term community wellness.
We believe every child deserves the chance to play, grow, and lead — regardless of financial barriers. Through this partnership, we combine TMF’s mission of community wellness, BSAA’s deep experience in youth sports, and Operation Breakthrough’s commitment to supporting families to create a program where young athletes can thrive on and off the field.
Our Mission
To provide youth with access to safe, competitive sports, leadership development, mentorship, and wellness resources — while removing financial and social barriers that prevent many families from participating.
Why JTL Matters
Many youth sports programs rely on tight budgets and volunteer support. Rising costs, equipment needs, and operational expenses make it difficult for leagues like BSAA to survive without community backing.
Join the League™ directly addresses these challenges by:
-
Covering league costs and debt relief
-
Upgrading equipment and safety gear
-
Ensuring no child is turned away due to inability to pay
-
Promoting wellness, mentorship, and leadership
-
Creating sustainable, long-term community sports programming
This initiative moves youth sports from surviving to thriving.
A Model for Community-Driven Development
Through shared leadership and transparent financial stewardship, Join the League™ shows what’s possible when organizations come together with a unified vision:
Healthy kids. Strong families. Safe communities. Sustainable programs.
