partnering with schools

"I am pleased my kids have been involved with Bitty Ball at Dominguez Primary School for the past two years.

The program has provided my students the opportunity to exercise. This is important, as many are not allowed to play outside due to their parents' fear of the streets. As a result, many kids are overweight in our community. This program helps students to be more physically active.

Bitty Ball also provides many needed social skills to the students through organized team sports. I hope the program can continue and develop at our school."

youth sports consulting

Beyond the Ball has been increasing its level of involvement across the city of Chicago. Many organizations are seeking advice on how to engage youth through sports effectively organize programming. Beyond the Ball has been urged by its funders to offer our services to help get programs similar to ours off the ground. We have developed best practices to replicate the things that make us effective.
