Worn basketball sneakers at the edge of a wrestling mat

Where it started

We saw it from the mat.

Before we sold a single piece of gear, we were officials. We watched kids walk onto the mat in basketball sneakers because that was what they had. They had the heart. They had the work. What they did not have was the equipment.

Talent is everywhere. Equipment is not.

The cause

No athlete should sit out
because of what they can't afford.

Play It Forward is how Great Call Athletics gives back. The community gives. We supply the gear a program needs at about our cost. It goes straight to the athletes who need it, and you get to see exactly where it went.

01

Give

Anyone can give, any amount. Every drive is built by the people who love this sport.

02

Equip

We supply what the program needs most, at about our cost. No markup. Shoes, headgear, whatever gets them on the mat.

03

Prove it

Every drive closes with a full public record: what was raised, what it bought, and where it was delivered.
