Youth Sports is Changing in the South Bay — Here’s How Splash Bay is Making an Impact
Manhattan Beach, CA — Nov. 20, 2025 — Youth sports are evolving and Splash Bay is leading the movement. Through innovative collaborations and a commitment to community, Splash Bay is shaping the future of youth athletics — one partnership, one athlete, and one neighborhood at a time.
The community surrounding Splash Bay continues to grow stronger, and with it comes tremendous value for our corporate partners. Businesses supporting Splash Bay are not only helping expand access, mentorship, and development for young athletes, but also seeing meaningful impact in performance, brand alignment, and community engagement on their side as well.
Partnerships that Make a Difference
At the heart of Splash Bay’s growth are the partnerships that amplify its mission. These collaborations combine community engagement, corporate responsibility, and youth development to create meaningful change.
Leading the way in community partnership, LACarGuy — the largest family-owned dealership group in Los Angeles — has become a cornerstone sponsor of Splash Bay.
Under the leadership of Matt Unger, a Manhattan Beach parent and community advocate, LACarGuy is redefining what corporate involvement in youth sports looks like.
“As a parent, I’ve seen firsthand how Splash Bay provides more than just sports — it’s a home for kids to learn core values, grow, and connect with their peers across the South Bay” said Matt Unger, Executive at LACarGuy. “As a premiere Corporate Partner of Splash Bay, supporting their mission and vision aligns with LACarGuy’s commitment to sustainability, philanthropy, and community development.”
LACarGuy and its sponsors deliver significant value to the region through initiatives that combine sustainability, philanthropy, and local engagement — partnering with schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to provide funding, volunteer hours, and resources for youth programs and neighborhood growth.
“Having partners like LACarGuy shows what’s possible when local businesses invest in the next generation,” said Chris Hartley. “Their support helps us reach more families, expand opportunities, and create lasting community impact.”
The Future of Youth Sports Starts Here
As Splash Bay continues to grow, its mission remains clear: to create a home for 365 days of athletic and personal development, supported by mentorship, access, and community collaboration.
What began in Manhattan Beach is growing every day — driven by community support, strong partnerships, and a shared commitment to the next generation.
