It is our mission to ensure that the children who participate in our programs and events have a positive experience in sports by emphasizing learning, participation, and fun.

our mission

our philosophyThe Cherry Point Youth Sports program is built around the philosophy that any recreational sport is for kids to learn the sport and have fun. We believe they can do this best when they are taught the fundamentals of the game and when each player is given an equal opportunity to participate in an environment that encourages and even demands good sportsmanship. Competition is an integral and essential part of all sports and we encourage it. Winning championships, however, is not, nor will it ever be, the emphasis of this program.

volunteerCherry Point Youth Sports is always looking for individuals who would like to make an impact on a young person’s life through coaching. What we are looking for in an individual is:1. A basic knowledge of the sport 2. A desire to teach 3. A willingness to commit the time it takes to do a good job4. A love of children

For such individuals, we provide the needed training for the sport through the National Youth Sports Coaching Association. Most importantly, we provide them with the opportunity to make a difference in a kid’s life and walk away with a lifetime of great memories.

So, if you think you have what it takes and are up for the challenge, stop by the Youth Sports Office in the Cherry Tree House and complete our coachingapplication package.
