Atlanta ContactPoint (ACP) is a Georgia 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2012 to engage children through the power of play.
Our mission is to create community-based models to support, educate, and facilitate wellness programs which encompass sports, fitness, arts, while also combating the growing problems of inactivity, virtual play, and poor eating habits affecting youth today.
“Play is the highest form of research.” — Albert Einstein
The ContactPoint was named by founder David Epstein. As a tennis coach David often referred to the contact point where the racquet meets the ball. The player must be in the correct position with the contact point out in front of the body, knees bent, head down and still through contact. When David put his efforts on creating programs and places to play, ContactPoint was formed.
