"Pontiac United Baseball has been a true blessing for my child this summer! It's given them something exciting to look forward to and helped build confidence, teamwork, and lasting memories. Even more, it's brought families in our community closer together—cheering, supporting, and celebrating every swing. Truly a win for the kids and the city!"

"PU is a great program it allows children to explore different activities and met new people. The coaches exceed expectations when it comes to their involvement with the students. I'm happy my child is apart of such a great organization."

"Pontiac United provides wonderful opportunities. Some of the programs include sports, dance, martial arts and mental health to name a few. My daughter really opened up. Miss Tracee is a caring, devoted woman who puts her all into each and every program."

"My daughter has danced with Pontiac United for the past two years. This program has not only given her an outlet to express herself through the art of dance—it has truly saved her life. She battled mental health challenges for years and, at one point, no longer wanted to live. But everything changed when she became involved with Pontiac United. Through mentorship, dance, and the genuine relationships she built, she found joy, acceptance, and love. Pontiac United gave our family more than just a program—it gave us our daughter back. I wish more families would take advantage of this incredible free program. We are here to stay."
