What We Do
Playsmart helps underserved 5th through 8th grade students realize their academic and life potential through sports. Playsmart currently works with 32 middle schools in five counties (Otoe, Cass, Saunders, Douglas, and Sarpy Counties) in Nebraska.
Consisting of a dynamic group of friends, coaches and teachers, speakers and program leaders, volunteers and mentors, partners and founders, PlaySmart is at work year-round to ensure children are given the chance to learn and grow.
Through key partnerships with Kroc Center Youth Sports, Partnerships for Life, Abide and Nothing But Net, we are able to reach over 1,000 youth. Our summer Leadership Academy brings close to 75 youth together at the Kroc Center for a week-long leadership academy AT NO COST.
