As the region’s first and only facility of its kind, The Fight For Children Sports Medicine Center is dedicated exclusively to the needs of young athletes and provides equitable access to world-class clinical care.  

More than 35 million children participate in youth sports in the U.S. each year, which leads to significant benefits for children’s physical and mental health. Unfortunately, more than 3.5 million of those children are treated for sports injuries, including many that require expensive clinical care, yet are often preventable. This Center was created in part to increase access to world-class clinical care, while minimizing prolonged physical and mental health issues for active children, regardless of their circumstances.

The Center has the expertise and resources to provide comprehensive physical and mental health care to promote healthy growth in children. Services include injury treatment & prevention, rehabilitation, performance evaluation and a state-of-the-art motion analysis and performance lab. In addition to world-class clinical care, the Center will also provide year-round educational training and resources to benefit youth sports programs, coaches and parents of young athletes.

This partnership between Fight For Children and Children’s National Hospital ensures benefits from the center are available and accessible to all youth in the region, particularly those from underserved communities. The Center is conveniently located in our late founder’s home town of Silver Spring, MD, just one block from the Metro.
