Building Stronger Communities Through Youth Empowerment
Our staff & volunteers
Inspiring Youth. Strengthening Families. Connecting Communities.
Xander Sports Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Carson, California. We are committed to revitalizing underserved neighborhoods by providing consistent access to sports, cultural engagement, mentorship, and family-focused programming.
We believe every young person deserves a safe, structured, and motivating environment to grow — physically, emotionally, and socially — regardless of their background or income.
Our Mission
To create inclusive spaces where youth can build confidence, develop leadership skills, and find purpose through year-round sports and community-based programs. Our focus is on movement, mentorship, and meaningful relationships that drive personal and community growth.
Our Vision
To shape a stronger, healthier generation — one child, one family, one neighborhood at a time.
What 90,000 Points of Impact Really Means
At Xander Sports, impact is more than a number — it's a daily commitment. Our facility operates 7 days a week, reaching an average of 250 youth and families per day. Each visit whether for a soccer match, martial arts class, mentorship session, or fitness program — is counted as a point of impact.
That adds up to more than 90,000 moments of growth and support every year.
Each of those moments represents:
- A child learning discipline on the mat
- A teen gaining confidence on the court
- A parent connecting with a supportive community
- A family staying active, united, and uplifted
Leadership and Legacy
Cesar Martinez
Founder & Program Director
In 2017, Cesar began with a simple mission: give youth in Carson a place to play, learn, and stay safe. What started as a weekend soccer league has evolved into a full-scale foundation that now reaches thousands of families across the city.
Cesar has personally led hundreds of coaching sessions, tournaments, and outreach events directly impacting tens of thousands of lives through year-round sports and mentorship. His leadership, cultural awareness, and consistency have made Xander Sports a trusted anchor in the community. His work ensures that youth not only show up they come back, grow, and lead.
Albert Moreno
Director of Nonprofit Development
Albert brings over a decade of experience in business infrastructure, legal compliance, and funding strategy. His work focuses on ensuring Xander Sports is sustainable, scalable, and built to last. From securing partnerships to expanding outreach across Southern California, Albert leads the back-end operations that keep the foundation moving forward with clarity and impact.
Together, Cesar and Albert combine grassroots leadership with organizational vision building not just programs, but real community infrastructure.
Built by Community
Xander Sports Foundation is driven by connection. From parents and volunteers to educators, small businesses, and local leaders, our success is built with the people of Carson not just for them.
We don’t measure our success in medals or headlines.
We measure it in stories:
- A student who finds their voice through martial arts
- A family that discovers support in a weekend tournament
- A neighborhood that grows stronger through shared momentum
We are not just a sports nonprofit.
We are a movement, one that brings people together, every single day, in the heart of Carson.
