Kristen Perkins is the CEO and Co-Founder of InclYOUsion Sports, a Massachusetts-based organization revolutionizing youth sports by offering inclusive, multi-sport programs designed for children with diverse abilities and needs. Frustrated by the lack of adaptive options for her own kids, Kristen and her husband Greg launched the first seasonal program in Danvers, MA, in 2021, which quickly sold out and drew families from over 20 towns. By Winter 2022, demand surged, leading to a waitlist and program expansion across the state. InclYOUsion Sports emphasizes hands-on, individualized coaching that promotes confidence, social skills, and physical development in a fun, supportive environment, serving hundreds of kids annually. A Lyme, NH native who returned to raise her family, Kristen balances her leadership role with her passion for community impact, drawing from her experiences as a dedicated sports parent to bridge gaps in traditional youth athletics.ParentShift course 30% OFF with the code "TRIBE".
