Who Are We?
About Us
Home Field Advantage is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2016 in Downey, CA.
HFA’s mission is to create healthier, stronger, more active and connected communities through sports leadership development.
HFA’s vision is to create a sustainable sports structure within our communities by activating local neighborhoods through coaching education, ultimately leading the next generation of homegrown role models while using existing underused facilities.
How We Work
At HFA, we bring neighborhood playing grounds to life across Los Angeles and the surrounding region through sports programs led by local leaders. Our mentor coaches take part in a structured development program with ongoing training, education, and support to ensure consistent, high-quality experiences for youth athletes.
Working alongside our mentor coaches are student coaches from local high schools, eager to develop their leadership skills and take an active role in running sessions while receiving mentorship themselves. Many go on to become mentor coaches, creating a sustainable cycle of leadership and growth.
By investing in local coaches and activating underused community spaces, we foster a sense of belonging and identity while breaking down barriers to play. HFA serves as a platform for leadership development, youth empowerment, and advancing equity in sports throughout the communities we serve.
