Founder and President
BACKGROUND
I was born in Los Angeles California, and moved to Florida with my family at an early age. I really love all that the Sunshine State has to offer, especially the weather which allows kids like myself to be active year round. I have played organized sports since I was 4 years old and value all the friendship and memories competing has provided me.
What Does AASP Mean to You?
I created this organization out of my passion to help people that otherwise wouldn't get the opportunity to compete, make lifelong friendships and learn all the valuable life lessons that playing organized sports provides athletes. One of my dearest friends growing up, and subsequently many more along the way, struggled to continue competing in organized sports because of the financial burden it placed on his single mother. While my family personally helped to support the athlete for years, ultimately he fell out of sports and has missed out on so many of the opportunities and memories I have been able to create. My goal is to help kids in that same position stay in sports and grow as individuals as a result.
Future Goals
My goal is to continue to play organized sports both in school and at the club level until I go to college. If given the opportunity to play in college I would consider myself very fortunate for the future opportunities to travel, compete and make friendships abroad. Irregardless of my future in sports, I am extremely focused on continuing to challenge myself throughout school and putting myself in the best position to get accepted into either UCLA or a Top Tier Southern California University. My ultimate goal is to get into Medical School and become a Plastic Surgeon.

BACKGROUND
Like my brother, I was also born in Los Angeles California, but consider Florida my home. I have really enjoyed growing up in a state that has 10 months of Summer and allows me to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. I have been involved in dance, cheer, basketball and soccer since I was 5 years old and have been a varsity athlete since the 8th grade.
What Does AASP Mean to You?
I have played and competed alongside teammates and friends that had to drop out due to the financial hardships their single parents faced. When we started the foundation I remember thinking to myself "If I can provide support for just 1 athlete and keep them involved in organized sports I would consider that a great victory." I am proud to say that after 1 short year and hundreds of applications and scholarships awarded, we have done more than I could have ever imagined. My daily goal is to help educated kids, parents, leagues and sponsors on the program we have available to them and the benefit it has on the athletes, families and communities we serve.

Alec Rakita
Vice President & Treasurer
BACKGROUND
I was born in Queens, New York and subsequently moved to Connecticut, where I lived for several years. At the age of 12, I later moved to Florida with my family. I have been playing soccer since the age of 5 and have been captain of my team for numerous years. My participation in sports has provided me with the chance to develop great leadership and teamwork skills.
What Does AASP Mean to You?
Ty and I built this non-profit into what it is today. It allows children of all economic backgrounds to participate in sports while making friendships and learning skills which will last a lifetime.
Future Goals
I am very focused on education and challenge myself on a regular basis. I plan to attend a top university to continue my personal and academic development. My future goals include participating in sports and progressing AASP in my college town.
Future Goals
My AASP foundation goal is to continue to help support and grow our foundation. I am working on developing an ongoing marketing and communication strategy thru social media outlets that target leagues, parents and athletes. Coming out of the COVID crisis, I have personally realized a need for an educational component to our program and am working on establishing ACADEMIC Assistance for Single Parents as an ancillary program that reaches beyond the gyms, studios and fields. The program would provide scholarships for children needing tutoring and or academic assistance and I hope to have the foundation established in early 2021.
