Every Kid Gets A Ball

Several years ago, Des Moines Park and Recreation introduced the Youth Recreational Scholarship Program (YRSP), in partnership with Des Moines Public Schools, which allows students to receive youth sport experiences for only $5.

The most recent commitment made by our organization has been to provide every child participating in an athletic program with a ball specific to that sport at no cost to their family. This innovative opportunity will allow youth to enjoy the activity at their local park or community center in season or out.

Across 5 sports, Every Kid Gets a Ball has given out an average of 2,300 sports balls each year to kids in Des Moines' Youth Recreational Scholarship Program.

Sponsorships are available for the many youth sports programs. A sponsorship includes your company logo or name on the selected sports ball.
