Giving Access and Transforming Lives
We serve under-resourced communities and give youth access to holistic programming that transforms body, soul, and spirit to succeed.
We give access to all youth regardless of family situations, finances, and transportation!
We desire to serve youth and help them
GEAR UP for success
athletically, academically, personally, and spiritually as they progress into middle and high school. We serve east Baltimore, with over 2,500 elementary and middle school youth, and provide affordable access to before-during after-school programs, summer camps, or sports clinics.
Our organization offers unique and innovative solutions to a significant problem. We don't just provide before and after-school programs, summer camps, and sports training. We create a supportive and nurturing environment that addresses the holistic needs of the youth, setting them up for a successful future.
Six Ways BSA is Unique:
- Proactively serve elementary and middle school youth
- Give access to over ten different sports
- Serve churches, youth/families, and schools
- Combine athletic, personal/spiritual, social/emotional, intentional leadership development and academic support
- We strengthen the community by developing youth leaders and hiring them as they enter high school.

" This program was sent from heaven; it is just what I needed to provide for my son; the sports are great, but the other lessons on school, character, confidence, and life are what sets them apart."
Mom of a 3rd-grade player
" So thankful BSA makes it possible for my son to play sports, but even better, they motivate him in school and to be a better person."
