Where Sport Begins — Built for the Lifecycle of the Athlete
First Love Sports is a membership-based youth sports model designed to reduce cost, simplify access, and create a clear developmental pathway from recreational to elite play.
Low Barriers. More Access. Better Development.
PROBLEM
The current youth sports landscape is often defined by a fragmented club structure, single-sport specialization, and a pay-to-play cost model that places increasing pressure on families. Development pathways are often disconnected, making it difficult for athletes to progress in a clear and sustainable way over time. At the same time, many facilities remain underutilized, coaching standards vary widely, and community integration is limited—creating a system that is costly, inefficient, and often misaligned with the long-term needs of athletes and families.
SOLUTION
A centralized, multi-sport ecosystem creates a single access point for families while providing athletes with multi-sport exposure and progressive development pathways. Through a membership model, participants gain access across multiple sports within an integrated system that connects recreational and advanced levels. Structured programming maximizes facility use, while a coordinated coaching framework ensures consistency in development. The result is a community-based sports ecosystem that better connects families, athletes, and facilities.
IMPACT
Families are often forced to navigate multiple organizations, schedules, and fee structures just to keep their children involved in sports. Along the way, athletes are pushed to specialize too early, often at the expense of broader athletic development and long-term participation. Costs continue to rise as families join multiple clubs in search of opportunity, yet there is often no clear progression from recreational play to more advanced levels. Meanwhile, courts and fields frequently sit unused outside of peak hours, development quality varies widely across programs, and many youth sports offerings operate independently of the communities they are meant to serve.

Sarah Solomon started First Love Sports Organization (FLS) in 2019 after coaching volleyball at all levels for 20 years. Sarah a Former University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine Alumni, AVCA All American, and All WAC 1st team standout Loves sports and wishes to pass on her legacy of excellence and a love of sport for the next generation. FLS is a Non Profit Organization dedicated to providing competitive team sports to all youth as the pay to play model has been detrimental to the culture of youth sports, and FLS plans to be a change agent in this regard, by bridging the gap between accessibility and opportunity for all youth to participate in and reap the benefits of organized team sports. FLS believes access to sports is a right and not a privilege, and all youth should have the opportunity to participate and reap the benefits of sports. FLS believes in developing a love for sport by focusing on the process of learning over the product of winning to foster a love for the game. We take a holistic approach to athletic development as we contribute to mental, physical, and social development, through high level technical skills training in sports so that athletes may emerge from our program as healthy, independent, proactive leaders in society.
