Access to opportunity in youth sports needs a reset.
Follow along as we roll out details on how the Be Elite Pathways Foundation will directly support families, athletes, and communities across Arkansas!

We’re excited to officially introduce the Be Elite Pathways Foundation.

Pathways was created to help remove financial barriers and keep high-quality youth sports accessible for families across Arkansas.

What this means for parents:
• Scholarships for qualifying athletes to help cover participation and travel costs across partnered basketball and volleyball programs, including leagues, travel teams, and training
• More opportunities for kids to compete close to home instead of expensive out-of-state travel
• Strong local programs and events that keep costs down while maintaining a high level of competition

Our goal is simple: make sure cost isn’t the reason a kid misses out on opportunity.

This is a long-term commitment to families and communities across Arkansas.

More information on how Pathways works, including eligibility and support details, will be shared soon.
