Fuel the Student-Athlete. Fund the Weekend.
Brunch League Sports is launching a pilot program to ensure student-athletes have access to meals, structure, and athletic development during weekends, holidays, and summer—when school-based support systems disappear.
Funding Goal: $6,000 to Launch 12 Weekends
We are launching our first cohort of student-athletes for a 12-weekend pilot program.
$1,120 raised of $25,000 SUMMER PROGRAM goal
The Gap
During the week, student-athletes have what they need.
Practices. Teams. Supervision. Meals.
For many, school breakfast and lunch are their most consistent meals.
Then school closes and they have to face the weekends,. Holidays and the long weeks of summer.
Meals disappear. Structure disappears Development stalls. Access breaks down. Participation stops.
Millions of students rely on school meals daily
What We Solve
Brunch League Sports is built specifically for off-school hours.
We operate during the most critical window:
9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
A “brunch model” that ensures:
-
breakfast access
-
lunch access
-
structured development in between
Because if a student-athlete is not fueled,
they cannot train, compete, or improve.
Why Sports Leads
We don’t build food programs with sports attached.
We build sports environments where nutrition is guaranteed.
Sports:
-
drives consistent attendance
-
removes stigma around meal access
-
builds discipline and accountability
-
creates community and identity
Student-athletes show up to train.
We make sure that when they do—
they are fed, supported, and developed.
The Pilot Program
We are launching a 12-Weekend Pilot Program serving student-athletes (ages 5–17) across the DMV/Baltimore region.
Each session runs: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Each participant will receive:
-
Breakfast + Lunch (Brunch Coverage)
-
Sports and fitness clinics
-
Structured supervision throughout the day
This is intentional development time during the most overlooked hours.
Breaking the Pay-to-Play Model
Traditional youth sports often assume:
-
families can afford participation
-
nutrition is already handled
-
added costs (team snacks, travel, extras) are manageable
For many families, that’s not reality.
Brunch League Sports is designed to:
-
remove financial barriers to participation
-
eliminate food-related pressure on families
-
ensure access is not dependent on income
Nutrition Access
Breakfast and lunch provided during every session. Consistent, nutritious meals provided in a community setting for both youth and families.
Sports & Athletics
Clinics, leagues, and structured performance environments with athlete-led, sport-specific training that builds skill, discipline, and confidence.
Academic Support
Tutoring and support for student-athletes balancing sports and schoo to strengthen focus, learning, and long-term outcomes.
Career Guidance
Students can gain work experience, internship experience and support in pursuing college, trade school and college sports recruiting scholarship guidance.
