In partnership with the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks, we’re proud to provide access to top-tier athletic facilities, including a turf soccer field, expansive outdoor basketball courts, and a fully equipped Lakers gymnasium, available to our youth all year long.
We partner with major professional sports organizations to host sports leagues and clinics for our youth to work on building their skills and teamwork. Some of our major supporters for athletics include the LA84 Foundation, the Women’s Sports Foundation for our girls’ high school basketball and clinics, the Los Angeles Rams for on-site football clinics, and the LA Galaxy team and LAFC fans for soccer clinics.
At Heart of Los Angeles, sports are more than just games—they’re life-changing experiences that build confidence, teach lifelong healthy habits, and create unforgettable memories for LA youth.
