Changing lives, ball by ball.

Project Ball by Ball puts sports balls into the hands of underserved youth, one kid and one ball at a time — using the power of play to build the next generation of leaders.

"Sport is a powerful catalyst in cultivating confidence, curiosity, and leadership in the next generation through the power of play."

Our Founding Belief

Our Mission

A single ball can be the start of a team, a season, a future.

Project Ball by Ball delivers sports balls to underserved youth, using the power of play to build the next generation of leaders.

Oftentimes, rather than a lack of talent or drive, the barrier for kids joining sports is not having equipment. Our mission is to break those barriers ball by ball — kid by kid — ensuring every child gets their chance to play.

About the Founder

Hi, I'm Teagan Ngo!

Project Ball by Ball brings together two things that have shaped who I am: a lifelong love for sports, and a strong dedication to philanthropy.

For seven years, I've served my community through the National Charity League and have experienced firsthand the impact of simply giving others my time. Growing up as a tennis player taught me the rest: sports build confidence, discipline, teamwork, and leadership in ways that extend far beyond the game.

This is the inspiration behind Project Ball by Ball! I want to help make sports more accessible to kids by providing something as simple but essential as a ball — and, hopefully, create opportunities for them to discover everything that can come from being part of a team and a community.

In time, I hope Project Ball by Ball helps young people grow into leaders, both in and out of sports. To me, Project Ball by Ball is a continuation of a lifelong passion for service — and a way to share the opportunities that sports have given me with the next generation. I'm so excited and honored to share Project Ball by Ball with you. Thank you for being here at the very beginning and for taking the time to learn more about what we're building.

— Teagan
