PPA Gives Back through ODS
Open Door Sports Inc. (ODS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in September 2016 in Washington, DC. The idea for Open Door Sports (ODS) grew from a desire to provide high-quality sports programming to ALL kids—regardless of physical ability. ODS exists as a sister company to PPA- operating high quality programs in both the special needs community as well as in communities that struggle with a lack of financial resources. In 2021, ODS announced that it would remove all financial barriers to participating by making all programming FREE of charge!
PPA is committed to supporting ODS fulfil its mission by contributing financial support, coaching support, and programming support. If you're interested in learning more about these programs, click below.
