World Legacy Training develops youth through sports. We provide training, mentorship, tournaments and help with team and program fees for young athletes in New Jersey, especially those from families with limited resources.
Years ago, a young player said something to our founder that never left him:
There are kids in our towns with real talent who never get the chance to show it, because their families can't cover AAU fees, rec fees or training, and some towns can't even host a tournament. World Legacy Training exists to change that, one kid at a time, by paying it forward.
Basketball is where we start. As coaches and funding grow, we'll bring the same support to other sports.
Covering AAU, rec and program fees for talented kids whose families can't, and supporting young athletes on the path to college.
Bringing tournaments and clinics to towns that couldn't otherwise host them, so more kids get to compete close to home.
Photo days and showcases at schools that celebrate young athletes and give them something to be proud of.
Our founding partner, Legacy Training, donates 10% of its training revenue to World Legacy Training. Every session a family books with Legacy helps another kid get in the game.
A young athlete books sessions with Legacy Training.
of that training revenue is donated to World Legacy Training.
Our independent board puts it to work: fees, tournaments and clinics.
World Legacy Training is governed by a volunteer, independent board that decides how every dollar is used.
