The National Youth Sports Strategy aims 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.
The Strategy is based on research and best practices from the scientific community and successful youth sports programs across the United States.
It offers actionable ideas for parents, coaches, organizations, communities, and policymakers to support youth sports participation for all.
