Financial Assistance

Can't Afford Youth Sports?

Your child's financial situation shouldn't decide whether they get to play.

Registration fees. Gear. Uniforms. Travel for tournaments. It adds up fast, and for a lot of families, that number is the only thing standing between a kid and a roster spot. The Coach Logan Wells Foundation exists to close that gap, so ability decides who plays, not what a family can afford that season.

Who This Is For

Young athletes who want to play, work hard, and show up, but whose family is being priced out of the season. Coach Wells has spent his career coaching Florida travel baseball, and the Foundation's roots are there, its mission is centered on helping young athletes overcome financial barriers to participation. If your athlete plays a different sport and cost is the barrier, reach out and let's talk.

What Assistance Can Cover

The Foundation's support can go toward a range of costs a young athlete may run into, things like registration fees, gear and uniforms, or travel costs for tournaments, and every family's situation is different. Coach Wells has covered these costs out of his own pocket for players in the past; the Foundation exists to formalize and grow that support so it isn't limited to what one coach can personally afford.

Not a Traditional Scholarship

We don't offer youth baseball scholarships in the traditional sense of a lump-sum award. The Foundation may be able to provide financial assistance when cost is a barrier to participation. If you're searching for help paying for youth baseball, this is the practical version of that: a real conversation about your family's situation, not a formal application against a fixed pool of scholarship money.

The Foundation is based in the Bradenton, Florida area, home to our annual golf tournament at IMG Golf Course, and our work reaches families across the surrounding Tampa Bay region.

This Is What It Looks Like

Nelson Dominguez was one of those kids. "My parents always struggled to pay for me to play somewhere, and Coach Logan looked past it," he says. Read Nelson's full story, or see what Coach Wells' own history with this looks like.
