Between 2005 and 2007, an independent evaluation of Team-Up was conducted by Philliber Research Associates with guidance from a distinguished National Advisory Group consisting of leading authorities in the fields of youth development and education.

The following conclusions from the evaluation show that Team-Up's work results in more kids having access to high-quality after-school sports and physical activities and experiencing positive growth through these opportunities.

Specifically, the evaluation concluded that:

Kids--in programs that Team-Up supports--were able to improve their self-efficacy, build confidence, learn teamwork, build skills, increase their physical activity and make new friends.  

Community-based organizations that work with Team-Up see their program quality increase as the partnership deepens over time.

In low-income communities where few resources existed beforehand, Team-Up has successfully built broad-based and sustainable sports and physical activity programs.
