About NYSP

The National Youth Sports Program effectively combines federal funds and private resources to improve the health and physical fitness of young people, particularly those that are members of low income families and residents of economically disadvantaged areas of the United States.

The principle partners in the effort include:

200 colleges and universities throughout the country; US Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families; US Department of Agriculture (USDA); various state and local agencies; national governing bodies of sports; private organizations and business; and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

This partnership, which stretches across the United States, has helped give 1,841,133 children the opportunity to succeed over the past 34 years and counting.

The NYSP Creed

I am a good sport at all times and conduct myself with decency and honesty. I do my best to get a long with others and have pride in myself.  I put forth the best effort in all competition and always compete fairly.

"Walk tall, talk tall, stand tall"
