However, this tournament isn't just for glory. It's put on by Playworks Wisconsin which provides low-income schools in the Milwaukee area with year-round support services that encourage kids to participate in recreational activities and sports.

The Playworks Wisconsin website states its goal as: "When kids play well, they discover the joy of physical activity. They resolve conflicts and learn to get along. They come back to class ready to learn. Studies show that recess matters: a thoughtful approach to recess improves children’s physical health and social and emotional learning. Playworks helps you make sure all kids get to play well, every day. We partner with schools to support play every day onsite, offsite, and remotely."
