Up2Us Sports firmly believes that every child deserves a dedicated coach, someone who never gives up on them and propels them to reach their full potential. Each year in November and December, we run our #ThanksCoach year end appeal campaign to raise critical funds to support our programs and maximize our efforts to achieve our mission and give more kids a coach in their corner.

As we close out 2023, we spoke with some of our coaches about what is most rewarding about being a coach, what made them want to become a coach, and who they want to say #ThanksCoach to.
