• Participation in sports provides physical, social, emotional and cognitive benefits over a lifetime.
• Every young person has the right to participate in sports in a safe, wholesome and nurturing environment.
What We Believe
• Advocating for full access and safe spaces. We seek to reduce barriers to participation for all groups. We provide a voice for youth sports organizations.
• Educating about the importance of child safety as the most critical issue of our industry. We focus on background screening, athlete protection and safety, coaching education, social and emotional skill development and parent education.
• Connecting organizations to essential tools, products and services to help them do a better job so they can concentrate on what they do best – organizing play for young athletes.

Multi-Sport Approach
Athletes with disabilities face greater barriers to sports participation.• 56.7 million people with disabilities
• Severe Disabilities increased from 34.9 mm to 38.3 mm between 2005-2010
• Highest Disability Rates among African Americans & Latinos
• Estimated 80% of individuals with intellectual disabilities live in low-income counties
• Biggest barriers to participation are financial, access and transportation
• Benefits of sport participation are arguably even larger for PWD
• Sometimes, physical differences mean trying multiple sports is essential for participation, but not enough are available
• This is why engagement in more than one sport is essential!

• Engage the youth coaching community
• Engage / get the word out to parents
• Utilize current and alumni players and ambassadors
• Leverage traditional / digital / social media platforms
• Encourage USYS sponsors and partners to tell the story!

Feature Athletes – Like Briana Scurry
Variety is the Spice of Soccer"We play sports because we want to be a part of something," says Briana Scurry, who won two U.S. Olympic gold-medal wins and famously saved the penalty kick in the 1999 Women’s World Cup final victory. "It makes us feel comfortable -- to be part of something. I played different sports. Eventually I gravitated to soccer, basketball, softball and track and went on to play those sports in junior high and high school. Have fun. Try different sports sometimes. I find a lot of the kids I’m training only play one sport – soccer, and I think I got a lot of great exposure in my other sports that helped me be a much better goalkeeper and soccer player because they all contributed to improvement.”
