Tag-Up Foundation · New York City

Rewarding academic excellence with the tools to play ball.

Tag up, v.

In baseball, a runner must return to touch their base after a fly ball is caught before advancing on the next play.

Our name is the rule: excellence in the classroom is how our kids earn their way onto the field.

Our Mission

E-Quipped by Tag-Up is a non-profit organization that enables NYC’s underprivileged youth to have the gear they need to succeed on the baseball diamond.

The Founder

Founder
Tag-Up Foundation

Hi, I’m Maverick Satnick.

I founded Tag-Up as a 16-year-old high school baseball player from New York City. I grew up lucky enough to have equipment whenever I needed it, and when I realized kids were not as fortunate as myself, I chose to take initiative and help.

Our Impact

From equipment drives to hands-on clinics, Tag-Up puts gloves, bats, and cleats directly into the hands of NYC ballplayers who’ve earned them — pairing every handout with real coaching time on the field.

  • Equipment provided directly to students who meet the academic bar
  • On-field clinics run alongside local coaches and players
  • Built by a player, for players, from the ground up in NYC

Help a kid tag up.

Get in touch to donate equipment, volunteer at a clinic, or bring Tag-Up to your league.
