NCYS:
Promoting the Importance of Youth Sports
Our mission is to enhance the experience of all participants. NCYS is nationally recognized as a leading advocate for young people to have full access to sports and to ensuring that games are played in safe environments.
KIDS ARE DROPPING OUT OF SPORTS
70% of young people quit sports by age 13.
They quit in part because they’re not having fun, have ineffective coaches,
overbearing parents or they can’t afford to play.
Youth sports can help millions of young people grow into productive citizens.
Your action will help fund programs and resources that will help them become All Stars for life.

National Youth Sports Strategy
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) developed the National Youth Sports Strategy (NYSS) to unite U.S. youth sports culture around a shared vision: that one day, all youth will have the opportunity, motivation, and access to play sports — regardless of their race, ethnicity, sex, ability, or ZIP code.
