The Parents Association for Youth Sports

The recommendations call for communities to step back and evaluate what is occurring on their publicly owned facilities, and they address how communities can change the culture of youth sports and reinstate a fun and stress-free playing environment for youngsters through reform, education, and accountability. By taking a proactive approach through the Parents Association for Youth Sports, communities can help ensure that the best possible experience is provided to every child who steps onto a field, court, or rink in an organized program.
