We help young people in Boston develop the confidence, skills & sportsmanship they need to succeed in life.

Through our accessible and comprehensive programs, we close the opportunity and achievement gap in academics and sports.

At One Love Sports Academy, our programs go beyond “just sports.” We ourselves grew up in Boston and we know the unique challenges that Boston’s youth face. That’s why we offer programs that combine leadership skills, one-on-one mentoring, team building with their peers, local field trips, academic skill building, and sports coaching. Through this unique combination of programming and our skilled team of local mentors, we support our young people to thrive. And as we know, when our young people thrive, it lifts up the future of our entire Boston community.
