General Youth Sports Information
Participation has many benefits for children. Being involved in sports creates opportunities for learning both physical and social skills. Children can also learn a number of moral skills including the values of treating their peers with respect and understanding differences. Life-long skills such as discipline, perseverance and teamwork are taught by the Youth Sports Director and volunteer coaches to help children develop a sense of self-worth, help them set personal goals and help them understand their abilities.
Training and certification of volunteer coaches by the National Youth Sports Coaches Association are provided and funded by the program. They receive the tools, resources and equipment necessary to offer a quality experience for young athletes.
The Youth Sports Director provides the best possible environment for children through an extensive screening process, a rigorous training agenda and hands-on support through continuous observation and evaluation of the program.
All team sports include all practices and games, team uniforms/T-shirts, equipment use, individual participation awards, NYSCA certified coaches, and an end of season sports banquet. Family field trips to professional and college sporting events are offered at a minimum cost.
