Introducing FuelBoxx Nutrition for Young Athletes

Los Angeles, CA (July 23, 2026) — FuelBoxx, a new youth sports nutrition company founded by four-time Emmy Award–winning sports producer Gayle Jones, today announced the official launch of its signature performance nutrition products: FuelBoxx Prep, FuelBoxx Recover, and the FuelBoxx Energy Bar.

Online team orders and quotes are now available at Fuelboxx.com.

FuelBoxx is addressing a growing but overlooked gap in youth sports: while training, travel, and competition have become increasingly professionalized, nutrition still remains an afterthought—leaving many young athletes under-fueled.

“As a busy mother of two young athletes, I saw firsthand how often kids were heading into practices and games under-fueled—grabbing chips, candy, or nothing at all. FuelBoxx was created to close that gap and give young athletes the nutrition they need to perform and recover,” said Gayle Jones, Founder & CEO of FuelBoxx. “Teen athletes deserve better than vending machine fuel.”

The FuelBoxx products are now available for purchase nationwide in bulk by schools, teams, organizations, camps, and recreation departments. The initial in-market debut with teams is focused locally in Southern California, including an official launch at LA Parks & Rec’s Girls Sports Day last month, partnerships with an AAU basketball program, youth teams for a professional soccer club, plus two leading Los Angeles prep schools. Additional organizations and programs are onboarding throughout summer 2026.

“Proper nutrition before and after games makes a real difference in how kids perform,” said Jones. “I saw it firsthand with my own children. Our goal is to make healthy fueling simple and effortless for teams, camps, and schools.”

FuelBoxx is launching with three core products designed to support the full performance cycle:

A curated pre-performance kit designed to help athletes start strong with balanced, easy-to-digest energy. Each “Prep” pack includes:

• A FuelBoxx Energy Bar for steady carbohydrate release

• Pretzels for quick carbs and sodium

• Applesauce for natural energy and hydration

• A hydration stick with electrolytes

• Dried fruit for vitamins and fast fuel

A targeted recovery system built to help athletes refuel, rebuild, and rehydrate after training or competition. Each “Recover” pack includes:

• Protein snacks for muscle repair

• A FuelBoxx Bar to restore energy stores

• Dried fruit for antioxidants

• FuelBoxx hydration support

A proprietary standalone energy bar formulated specifically for young athletes, delivering steady energy without crashes and designed to complement both pre-game and recovery fueling.

FuelBoxx products are developed with sports dietitians and designed specifically for the unique needs of adolescent athletes, who often require significantly more energy and nutrients than their peers due to growth and training demands.

The company’s system emphasizes:

• Balanced macronutrients for sustained energy

• Convenient, grab-and-go packaging for busy schedules

• Real, high-quality ingredients over processed alternatives

By partnering directly with teams, schools, and sports organizations, FuelBoxx is integrating nutrition into the daily routines of young athletes, making it as essential as practice and training.
