Players Health, founded by Tyrre Burks, is transforming youth sports by creating safer, more accessible environments for athletes. Focused on injury prevention, risk management, and safety solutions, the company helps sports organizations provide a better experience for young athletes, ensuring their well-being both on and off the field.
Through initiatives like the Microgrant Campaign, Players Health has directly impacted youth sports by funding participation for underprivileged kids across the U.S. In 2022 alone, 75 children from 20 states received grants to cover the cost of playing sports. This initiative highlights the company’s commitment to making sports accessible for all.
Tyrre Burks, a former football player, founded Players Health after his own struggles with injuries on the field. His firsthand experience drives his passion for athlete safety and inspired him to create a solution that bridges the gap between accessibility and protection in youth sports.
