LPF opened its inaugural warehouse in Washington, DC in 2013. Since then, we have successfully replicated our model to Baltimore, MD in 2018, Philadelphia, PA in 2021, and now Columbus, OH in 2023! Our program has the opportunity to help local students experience a childhood full of positive youth sports memories and take advantage of the physical and mental benefits youth sports have to offer.

It’s the second week of the @usopen and the compet It’s the second week of the @usopen and the competition has been nothing short of incredible so far. As the world watches some of the best tennis players compete on one of the sport’s biggest stages, it’s worth remembering that every player had to start somewhere.

Maybe it was a racquet in their hands for the first time in PE class.
Maybe it was their first practice.
Maybe it was the moment they felt joy trying something new.

For kids, that first experience can be the beginning of something much bigger: building confidence, finding community, learning resilience, and discovering a sport they can carry with them for years to come.

But that first experience isn’t possible for every child without access to the right equipment.

That’s why every day, we work to make sure more kids have the chance to get out there, get in the game, and discover where their own love of sport begins. ♥️🎾
