The CYSS Sports & Fitness Program

hosts recreational leagues that are inclusive of all youth who want to learn the fundamentals of the game and to have fun. Sports programs and services are provided to children and youth 4 weeks to 18 years of age in the following four service areas: Team Sports, Individual Sports, Fitness & Health, and Outreach. The age groupings are aligned with the National Standards for Youth Sports, as endorsed by the National Alliance of Youth Sports (NAYS). Prior to placement in sports programs, staff consider the age and physical development of the child/youth to ensure they are able to understand the type and rules of the sport to enable them to participate safely. Sports registrations are accepted at Parent Central Services, Bldg. 2295, 12th & Bitar Ave, 967-2494. Enrollment fees vary depending on each sports program.

Training:

Coaches are trained and certified through the National Association of Youth Sports (NAYS). The NAYS organization is a volunteer coach training program that is designed to sensitize volunteer coaches to their responsibilities and hold them accountable to a strict code of ethics and conduct. All coaches have background clearance checks and are screened through the Army Central Registry, MPs, CID and Alcohol and Drug Prevention programs for any reported misconduct involving children. Training includes psychological and emotional needs of youth, safety and first aid, conditioning and nutrition, teaching proper sports techniques and drug awareness. Volunteer coaches are always welcome for all sports programs.
