The O’Fallon Little Panthers Youth Sports Club (OLP) provides limited 100% and 50% off registration fee scholarships to children, who without this financial assistance would not be able to participate in one of our OLP sports activities. The OLP scholarship program focuses on providing opportunities for area youth to participate in team sports because of the physical, leadership, and character-building benefits these programs can provide.
Currently, OLP scholarships are offered for participation in the following OLP programs:
Cheerleading
Football
Mandatory Requirements for eligibility:
Participant must be age 14 or younger and not going into the 9th grade
Commitment to attend a minimum of 80% of all scheduled practices and games
Participation by a family member in at least ten volunteer credits (fourteen credits for two or more children) prior to week four of the season.
Application must be completed by a parent, guardian, or head of household, with all requested information provided (Incomplete applications will not be considered).
Priority will be given to eligible youth meeting one or more of the criteria below:
Member of a multi-child family
Living in a single parent home
Receiving assistance from programs such as: Food Stamps, Medicaid, SSI, Foster Care, WIC, Free/Reduced School Lunch, etc. (applicant must provide written documentation of participation in these programs to receive priority status)
Written recommendation by previous OLP coaches, social workers, youth community center workers, or other social services representatives.
Note: Approval of a registration scholarship does not register the participant in the sport. Participant must still register with OLP.
If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, please contact our membership director at [email protected] for instructions.
Scholarships for football and cheer will be finalized by August 1.
