The Michigan Youth Sports Initiative (MYSI) will assess the inequalities in sports due to the pay-to-play costs that hinder aspiring young athletes from participating in organized sports. To bridge this gap in surrounding communities, MYSI will acquire monetary and in-kind donations from sponsors to provide access to student-led youth teams and programs in the greater Ann Arbor area.
