Hi, I’m Joelle, founder of First Shot Initiative.

I started this project because I know firsthand how expensive club sports can be, and how many kids never even get the chance to try because of the price.

To give kids in low-income communities a real shot at joining club teams by covering registration fees, hosting free clinics, and collecting gear for those who need it most.

This summer, I’m running our first community events in Lancaster, CA.

With your help, we can:

• Sponsor 1–2 kids into local club teams

• Run free clinics and training days

• Provide basic gear (cleats, balls, uniforms)

Every dollar helps; even $5 makes a difference.

Let’s give every kid their first shot.

Thank you for supporting this mission.
