    1 in 4 Students Lack Access to Athletics

    Financial Barriers Keep Young Athletes on the Sidelines

    The cost of elite athletic training, equipment, and travel can exceed $3,000 per year per athlete, making it out of reach for many families. Your support ensures that dedicated athletes aren’t left behind simply because of financial hardship.

    Athletics Build More Than Just Skills

    Young athletes who participate in structured sports programs are 60% more likely to graduate from high school and develop leadership, teamwork, and confidence that last a lifetime. Investing in sports is investing in stronger futures for these athletes and their communities.

    A Growing Gap in Youth Sports Access

    Over the last decade, funding for public school sports programs has decreased by 30%, forcing families to seek private training options that are often financially out of reach. Your donation helps close this gap and provides equal access to elite coaching and competition.

    Every Dollar Makes an Impact

    It takes just $50 to fund a week of training for one athlete and $1,000 to provide a full season of coaching and competition support. No matter the amount, every donation directly supports an athlete’s journey toward excellence.

 FAQs

  • Best Athletica, Inc. was formed as a non-profit organization in 2024; however, Coach Chuck Best (a Plano native) began helping and training Middle School & High School aged athletes as far back as 2000. Along with other fellow board members, there is over 100 years of athletic training experience.

  • Having seen the need (over numerous years) for kids of every age to have access to elite, high-level coaching & performance training, Coach Best formed The Board of Directors & incorporated as a TEXAS NON-PROFIT in 2024. The purpose is to ensure that middle school and high school aged athletes in any demographic has access to such training.

  • “We’re here for every athlete from middle school through high school, regardless of their gender or the sport they are competing in. Finances should never be a barrier for any young athlete, but the reality is that there are many kids that need the mentorship, insight, guidance & influence of such training and cannot afford it. We’re here for every kid at every level of the financial stratum” - Coach Chuck Best, President

  • Currently, the organizational model dictates that we contract with area gyms and other sports facilities in the Plano area. Ultimately, our vision is to fund and secure our very own facility.

  • “The vision is very ambitious” says Dr. Bob Drotman, Vice President “We are hoping that one day soon we’ll have a reasonably spacious training facility with state-of-the-art weight & training equipment, a small indoor turf area to train the kids for the field sports, batting cages, basketball hoops, tackling dummies, blocking sleds, heavy bags, speedbags, etc.  along with a snack bar where the kids can hang out, and even some office-style conference and office areas where they can review training or competition video with their coaches. We want this to be a safe place and a home-away-from-home for our youth community. Very similar to a Parks & Rec facility with an emphasis on high level training & competition. It will be great once we start hanging annual wall-banners that list our kids and their accomplishments in their chosen sports!”
