Our Team

Founded in 2024 by two West Linn dads, PlayMakers USA was created to give young athletes more than just a place to play—it was built to create unforgettable experiences through sports.

Our mission is to provide a positive, supportive environment where kids can develop their skills, build confidence, make lasting friendships, and have fun. We also believe youth sports bring families together, helping create a stronger community both on and off the field.
