Chance Through Sport Foundation
Chance Through Sport Foundation
Chance Through Sport Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization which initially was created to help economically disadvantaged youth with athletic scholarships for training programs and equipment to provide education through sport and equal opportunity.
Over a course of years, CTS has evolved into a broader inclusive sports initiative serving children, teens, adults, seniors, adaptive athletes, and underserved communities throughout Washington.
We believe sports can change lives far beyond competition. Through accessible programming, mentorship, scholarships, community partnerships, and inclusive athletic opportunities, we aim to help individuals build confidence, improve physical and mental well-being, develop leadership skills, and create meaningful human connections.
CTS supports beginner and developing athletes of all backgrounds and abilities by removing barriers to participation and creating safe, welcoming environments where everyone has the opportunity to grow.
Our programs include:
Community Access & Scholarships
Adaptive & Inclusive Sports
Active 55+ Initiatives
Junior Coaches & Leadership Pathways
Athletic Development Programs
Whether someone is stepping onto a court for the very first time or rediscovering movement later in life, we believe there is no wrong way to play, grow, and belong through sports.
Our History
Over the many years of providing tennis to the community, at risk youth, and low-income families, the board of directors of Gorin Sports Academy and Chance Through Sport Foundation have helped many students receive higher education through sport, including Bachelors and Masters degrees from top colleges and universities throughout the nation.
Our Mission
Our mission is to expand access to sports and healthy movement for individuals and families of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities by creating inclusive, affordable, and community-centered athletic opportunities.
Through scholarships, beginner-friendly programming, adaptive sports initiatives, community outreach, and leadership development, CTS works to ensure that financial, physical, or social barriers do not prevent individuals from experiencing the lifelong benefits of sports participation.
Our Team
Chance Through Sports Foundation is supported by a team of coaches, mentors, athletes, and sports professionals united by one common belief: sports should be accessible to everyone.
Drawing on years of experience developing athletes and building community programs through Gorin Sports Academy, our team is passionate about creating environments where individuals feel welcomed, supported, and empowered both on and off the court.
We are committed to building sustainable programs that strengthen communities, encourage healthy lifestyles, and create opportunities for future generations through sports.
