Why we do it
Sports change a kid's trajectory.
We prioritize having fun while recognizing the value of advanced sports training. We provide free pickup games, free training, assistance for those who need it, leagues, and tournaments for youth and adults. For serious and professional athletes, our facility features Long Island's most advanced, science-backed sports laboratory, training center, and wellness center.
Children First — When children play sports and join a team, they build self-esteem, confidence, and strong social skills. Sports also help them stay healthy, become more resilient, and learn important ways to connect with others.
Promotes self-esteem
Every save, goal and high-five builds the confidence kids carry far beyond the field.
Creates a healthy lifestyle
Active habits formed through play become the foundation of lifelong well-being.
Teaches goal setting
Practice, progress, repeat — sports show kids how effort turns ambitions into results.
Builds real teamwork
Learning to win, lose and grow together is a skill no classroom teaches quite like a team.
Develops time management
Balancing school, practice and game day teaches kids to own their schedule early.
Prepares kids for adversity
A tough loss handled well is a rehearsal for every setback life throws later.
Our roots
Three decades of love in action.
Agape at Kings Park is part of a family of non-profits under the American Agape Foundation — a charitable organization that has spent over 35 years proving that community care works best when it's practical, local and free.
1988
A foundation is formed
The American Agape Foundation, Inc. (AAFI) is founded in March 1988 with a simple charter: love your neighbor, in practice.
1989
Recognized as a 501(c)(3)
The IRS designates AAFI a charitable non-profit corporation in January 1989, formalizing the mission.
1992
A family of non-profits
Group Exemption status lets AAFI form subordinate non-profits — operated as Community Housing Development Organizations — and expand the mission.
