Sun Angel Collective and Sport Sitters Team Up to Empower ASU Female Student- Athletes and Families
Tempe, AZ – February 27, 2025 – The Sun Angel Collective is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Sport Sitters, revolutionizing the way Arizona families support Arizona State University (ASU) female student-athletes. This groundbreaking technology platform enables families to book female Division I student-athletes for active, play-based childcare through its mobile app. This collaboration provides ASU student-athletes with meaningful employment while directly benefiting their teams through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities.
Sport Sitters offers families a unique childcare solution by connecting them with trusted ASU athletes who prioritize playtime over screen time. When families book a Sport Sitter, a portion of the proceeds go back to supporting that athlete’s team through NIL opportunities facilitated by the Sun Angel Collective. This means families are not only receiving top-notch childcare but are also contributing to the advancement of women’s collegiate athletics.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Sun Angel Collective to expand opportunities for Arizona State University student-athletes,” said Meaghan Franks, Founder of Sport Sitters. “This partnership allows us to connect athletes with families in a way that
benefits everyone—children receive active, engaging care, and athletes gain financial support while empowering their teams. When a parent books a Sport Sitter, they’re not just securing a babysitter, they’re immersing their kids in an environment where hard work, dedication, and confidence are the norm.”
ASU soccer player and Sport Sitter Olivia Coleman shared her excitement for this collaboration. “Being part of Sport Sitters has allowed me to balance my passion for sports with a flexible job that truly impacts kids' lives. I love inspiring children throughout our community to build confidence, independence, and the drive to be their best at something they love while also contributing to my team's success through NIL support."
Brittani Willett, President of Sun Angel Collective, emphasized the impact of this partnership on ASU athletes and their teams. “We are always looking for ways to support ASU student-athletes beyond their sport, and Sport Sitters aligns perfectly with our mission. This partnership not only provides financial opportunities for these athletes but also ensures their teams receive critical funding, strengthening women’s athletics at ASU.”
