About
Chicago Westside Sports offers club baseball, AAU basketball, and Team USA archery, along with baseball, basketball, and archery activities. The program focuses on organized team sports in these three areas throughout the week.
• Schedule: Open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and Saturday from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm
• Price: Offering quality sports with zero cost to participants in under-resourced communities
The stated purpose of Chicago Westside Sports is to promote safe activities for children and their families in high-crime, under-resourced areas. Chicago Westside Sports is a gathering of volunteers representing local organizations and churches, community members, and the Chicago Police Department working together to provide opportunities for youth to engage in safe and healthy activities. The program’s “Full Court Press” initiative combines the unified efforts of local police, churches, and community organizations to promote positive, transforming change. There is community involvement through volunteers from local organizations, faith-based participation, the Chicago Police Department, and businesses that have given funds and provided their staff with the opportunity to build into these communities. In-kind gifts of uniforms and equipment are accepted as donations.
Testimonials from participants and observers include: “When we are out here playing baseball, it’s a different environment.” Another person shared, “For that moment in time these kids get to escape to a place where they are safe and they are happy.” A third testimonial states, “It helps people become friends and come together as a team.”
