70% quit by age 12

70% of young athletes quit
organized sports by the age of 12.

Skillzys® is here to change that, one Skill Tag®, one recognized moment, one kid at a time.

Our Mission

There is a growing danger in youth sports today.

Roughly 7 out of 10 kids quit organized sports by the age of 12. The reasons are familiar, too much pressure, not enough fun, a culture that rewards the scoreboard more than the athlete. Source: National Alliance for Youth Sports
