The Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation provides athletics to children around the Metro East area. Sports include basketball, volleyball, baseball/softball, football, soccer, golf, and cheerleading. Jackie Joyner-Kersee’s athletics is based around Jackie Joyner-Kersee’s Winning in Life curriculum! Our athletes and teams are top tier. JJK’s athletics are led by leaders and coaches in the community where they teach valuable and meaningful structure, sportsmanship, and life lessons.

At the end of each sports season, athletes and coaches are celebrated with a sports banquet where the athletes are presented with awards such as trophies, Winning in Life metals, and/or plaques.
