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.
