The sessions
Sport first.
Then the skills.
Up to six sessions of 45 to 60 minutes, inside programs people already attend. Each one will start with the sport players already play, then turn their own game into money skills, AI skills and practice handling pressure.
How a session works
Every session, three parts
Up to six sessions of 45 to 60 minutes. Two trained, screened college coaches will lead each one, with the program's own staff in the room.
Play
The sport comes first: whatever the program already plays.
Track
Players log their numbers in their own stat tracker: makes, misses, reps and times.
Plan
15 to 20 minutes on money, AI or handling pressure, built from the players' own numbers: a budget, a deal, a prediction to check.
The skills
What players learn
Four skills, each starting from the players' own game.
Run the numbers
Build a budget from your season's numbers, plan a first paycheck and learn how credit works. Practice reading a deal, and saying no when people ask you for money.
Check the machine
Use AI as a tool, catch its mistakes and keep your information yours. See how AI and virtual reality are changing the game.
Handle the pressure
Practice handling nerves and pressure from coaches, parents and the crowd. Think before you post or film, and learn to spot a scam.
See the whole field
Playing is one job in sports. Explore the others: analyst, athletic trainer, coach, sports media, and the AI and tech jobs behind the game.
Guides for parents
By age
The 2027 pilot, by age
The plan for each age group in the youth pilot.
Ages 10–12
Sort your own shot cards to see how AI learns patterns, then catch an AI demo making mistakes. Start your own stat tracker and plan a game day on a budget. Practice handling nerves, mistakes and pressure from the crowd. Learn about the jobs behind a game day.
Ages 13–17
Build your own stat tracker under a codename, test a small AI model on FSL laptops and check its predictions. Watch AI summarize a phone plan, then check every line yourself, and learn how credit works. Explore jobs around sports and tech. Learn why what you post or film stays online.
Ages 14–17, with a parent (later)
A session on NIL (name, image and likeness) basics: how a contract works, what to ask, red flags, who signs, and how to say no when people start asking you for money. Then life after sports, from a first job and a first paycheck to a plan B. No company will be promoted.
Every drill and lesson will have an adapted version, so players with disabilities take part in the same session.
Taking part
How kids join
Kids will take part through a program they already attend, so FSL can't sign a child up directly. Join the family list and we'll let you know when a pilot site is confirmed.
Youth safety
How we keep kids safe
The rules every session will follow.
Screened adults
Before working with kids, every FSL coach and volunteer will pass a California DOJ background check and child-abuse reporting training.
Never alone
At least two screened adults at every session, with the program's own staff in the room, and no adult alone with a child out of sight of others.
No AI accounts
No child opens an AI account, and no child's name, face or personal information goes into any AI tool. Kids under 13 use AI only on FSL laptops with no internet connection, or watch a demo an adult runs.
Written permission
Written permission from a parent or guardian to take part, for AI activities and, separately, for any photo.
Skills, not therapy
Coaches will teach skills for handling pressure, not counsel. If a child needs more help, they'll bring in the program's own staff, and anyone can call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Nothing to sell
We never send kids to any company, and we take no referral money.
