There's a new No. 1 as Ohio State falls and Michigan returns to the AP Top 25 rankings. See where your team landed.

A new place to play. A new opportunity for 1,200+ youth.
The Willie Henderson Sports Complex in Southeast San Diego now features a new multi-use futsal and basketball court, made possible through community collaboration and a shared belief in the power of sports.

Youth sports should be joyful, not stressful. The price of a childhood memory shouldn't come with a payment plan. That's why we created Stay in Play, an international grant program to help cover the cost of the season.
Sport dropout is a real challenge among adolescents, and cost is one of the most commonly reported barriers to participation. @LD77Foundation is trying to change that with the Stay in Play grant program to help keep young athletes in the game. Open to ages 12-15!
Access to youth sports is getting harder. Because the costs to play keep rising. Stay in Play is here to help break down the barriers to staying in sports. lukadoncicfoundation.org/sip

Winter in San Diego means sunny skies, ocean views, and Aztec energy.
While much of the country is bundled up, our community is soaking up the sun, recharging, and enjoying the season the San Diego way. ☀️🌊

Big thanks to my mentors, co-authors, and community organizations and members for their support.

New research @JRuralHealth
20% of US youth meet physical activity guidelines, but the story isn't the same for everyone
✅️ Sports matter, especially in urban areas
⚠️ Female non-sport participants are most at-risk for inactivity
🌟 We need better metrics for sport activity

Surprise! Mission accomplished. We just executed Remora, our first closed-loop rendezvous mission, in orbit. The entire operation relied on a single camera sensor and peripheral flight computer, an industry first. The Remora mission was developed in just nine months with our partners @GoToImpulse, and quietly launched earlier this year on board Impulse’s LEO Express 2 Mira.
