ESA Family Guide
Using Arizona ESA Funds for Youth Sports & Basketball Training
If your family has an Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account, here's a plain-English look at how ESA and ClassWallet work — and how families put those funds toward basketball training at the Inspire Prep academy in Gilbert.
What is an Arizona ESA?
Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program lets eligible families direct a portion of state education funds toward approved educational expenses. Payments are handled through ClassWallet, the platform the Arizona Department of Education uses to connect families with approved vendors. Program rules and eligibility are set by the state — always confirm what your account covers with the Arizona Department of Education and ClassWallet.
Where sports and training fit in
Many Arizona ESA families use their accounts toward physical education, enrichment, and training with approved vendors. Whether a specific expense qualifies is determined by the ESA program — not by any single vendor — so the right move is always to verify eligibility for your account before you enroll or pay.
How it works with Inspire Courts
Inspire Courts AZ is a registered ClassWallet vendor. ESA families can direct funds toward the Inspire Prep academy — structured basketball training, coaching, and program equipment on regulation indoor hardwood in Gilbert. Important: Inspire Courts does not collect or process ESA funds directly; the transaction is handled on ClassWallet.com between your account and the program.
How to pay through ClassWallet
The flow is straightforward: enroll in the Inspire Prep program, then submit the expense through your ClassWallet account to Inspire Courts AZ as the vendor. Our step-by-step ESA / ClassWallet guide walks through exactly how to do it — and our team is happy to answer questions along the way.
