YOUTH BOWL
The annual Frank Ski Kids Foundation Youth Bowl was created in response to the lack of funding and parental participation in youth sports, particularly football. The Foundation recognized the important correlation between team sports and student success. Young athletes learn & retain timeless qualities such as leadership, responsibility, perseverance and teamwork. Simultaneously, studies show that being physically active through football lowers body fat, strengthens muscles and increases the likelihood of continuing good health habits later in life.
Frank Ski’s Youth Bowl gives youth the opportunity to display their athletic abilities, learn the importance of sportsmanship, field etiquette, and teamwork. Foundation scholarships are instrumental in helping recreational programs repair playing fields, purchase team uniforms, offer scholarships for low income players, and to replace aging team equipment.
The FSKF Youth Bowl is the largest youth football game in America. Many of the players have gone on to play Division 1 college football. Several have also played in NCAA National Championships and have gone on to be drafted into the NFL.
