Every young athlete deserves someone in their corner.
The Alliance Ally Program connects individual and corporate donors with youth athletes — providing direct support, mentorship, and resources that help them grow on the court, in the classroom, and in life.
What is the Alliance Ally Program?
At Hoops and Health Alliance, we believe that when a young person has consistent encouragement, access to resources, and a supportive community — they can achieve incredible things.
The Alliance Ally Program is designed to remove barriers and create opportunities for youth athletes in the DMV area by pairing them with "Allies" — individuals, families, or businesses who want to invest in a player's development both athletically and personally.

The Alliance Ally Program ensures that every child — regardless of circumstance — has access to the tools and relationships they need to succeed.
