- Winter clinics - 30+ free skill sessions each year across all five boroughs
- Summer camps for elementary and middle-school newcomers
- Open-play Sundays at Pier 40 Hudson River Park, all skill levels welcome
- Equipment grants distribute full sticks/pads/helmets to PSAL teams that can't afford them
