Building a Positive Sports Experience for All

At Youth Sports & Fitness, we believe that sports should be fun, safe, and rewarding for every child. To create a positive experience, we ask all parents, players, and coaches to follow our sportsmanship guidelines and participation rules.

Sportsmanship Requirements

All parents and guardians must complete Sportsmanship Training before registering their child for Youth Sports. This ensures everyone understands the values of respect, teamwork, and fair play.

  • Promote a Safe & Positive Sports Experience — NAYS equips parents with tools to help children enjoy the lifelong benefits of sports in a healthy, encouraging environment.
  • Commit to Positive Participation — Parents are encouraged to take the NAYS Sports Parent Pledge, reinforcing supportive behavior and receiving helpful tips through a free email series.

  • Stay Connected to Youth Sports Best Practices — NAYS offers free newsletters, articles, and family activities that highlight safety, wellness, and positive youth development.
