About RallyCap Sports

RallyCap Sports is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing recreational sports for children and young adults with special needs through a volunteer-driven community. When Paul Hooker was coaching a Little League Baseball team one day in 1990, he turned to a little girl in a wheelchair and asked her how she was doing. Frustrated with watching from the sidelines as her brother played, the little girl replied, “this stinks.” That two-word answer sparked a mission to create a program that would enable children and young adults of all abilities to enjoy and participate in sports. Driven by this newfound philosophy, Paul and his wife Margo began a grass-roots softball league near their hometown in Central New Jersey, called Challenged Youth Sports. Over the years, the small league grew from a single-sport season to a year-round organization with nearly a dozen sports, impacting hundreds of families in the region. As the 25th anniversary of Challenged Youth Sports approached, a new mission became clear: serve the special needs community on a national scale. In 2014 the organization reinvented itself as RallyCap Sports, and set out to create regional chapters at universities across the nation. RallyCap Sports launched its first chapter at Bowling Green State University, establishing the model for future chapters like yours. Our Philosophy: We believe sports are a powerful avenue towards changing lives. A collaborative atmosphere, active play, leadership, and fun spirit are core values that are naturally integrated in a sports environment. These same values are what make RallyCap Sports great, and support the three pillars of enrichment we strive to bring to each RallyPlayer.
