ODPHP invites organizations that support youth sports to become National Youth Sports Strategy (NYSS) Champions. NYSS Champions work to promote youth sports in their communities and help achieve the NYSS vision: that one day, all youth will have the opportunity, motivation, and access to play sports.
Who can become an NYSS Champion?
Your organization can apply to become an NYSS Champion if it:
- Promotes youth sports — for example, by offering youth sports programs or providing financial support
- Has a mission that aligns with the NYSS vision
- Agrees to sign a partnership agreement and trademark license to outline how the organization supports the NYSS vision
Note: Individuals are not eligible to apply.
What are the benefits of being an NYSS Champion?
