What Ultimate Fieldhouse does

Ultimate Fieldhouse is the flagship sports-facility initiative of the Ultimate Sports Association (USA), a 501c3 non-profit incorporated in 2015 and headquartered at 2675 Mitchell Drive, Walnut Creek, California. USA's mission centers on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, providing children in Contra Costa County with access to sports programs in safe and supportive environments that emphasize leadership, life preparation, community engagement, and healthy lifestyles. The organization was created through the combined vision of three local youth-sports organizations and is guided by leading teachers and mentors of youth sports in the region; the founder group includes Frank Allocco Jr., Chris Whirlow, and Phil Doherty, with Mike Samuels serving as CEO.

The core product is the planned Ultimate Fieldhouse sports facility, accompanied by a portfolio of youth sport and educational programs. Organization-published materials describe the fieldhouse as an initiative the entity is "working to make a sustainable reality," indicating the physical venue remains aspirational rather than operational. Programs are framed to develop participants socially, physically, and mentally rather than purely as athletic performers, distinguishing the offering from typical youth-sports clubs. The organization has 11 to 50 employees and a regional service footprint limited to Contra Costa County.

USA is funded almost entirely through philanthropic channels: individual donations (online via PayPal and by check), employer matching gift programs, corporate sponsorships, foundation and government grants, and donations of securities processed through a Wells Fargo Advisors account. The organization holds no app, no published API, no proprietary technology platform, and discloses no patents, trademarks, awards, or named corporate customers. All marketing is conducted through its website (ultimatesports.org) and direct outreach, with no third-party validation of revenue or program scale in the source material.
