Mission

he Youth Sports and Fitness Program offers a comprehensive array of team and individual sports, along with tailored fitness and health programs. Our services extend to Child Development Centers, School Age, and Youth Programs, ensuring a well-rounded engagement for participants. Please note that pre-registration is mandatory for enrollment in our Sports and Fitness programs.

The program focuses on the following:

  • Leadership,
  • sportsmanship
  • teamwork.
  • well-being of children/youth.
  • Skill building. 
  • increased self-esteem.
  • self-confidence.

Reduce the likelihood of situations and behaviors that put children/youth at risk to include providing a drug, tobacco, and alcohol-free environment at all child/youth sports activities.

To ensure seamless enrollment in our sports programs, your family must be registered with Parent Central Services. Once registration is completed, you may proceed to enroll in the sport of your choice through either Parent Central Services or WebTrac. For the commencement of practices, all youth athletes must present a copy of a current health assessment/sports physical, valid throughout the entire season. Enrollment fees are subject to variation based on each specific sports program. Conveniently, enrollment forms can be downloaded from WebTrac or obtained at Parent Central for submission.


Webtrac

Families can begin the Youth Sports and Fitness program pre-registration process using our WebTrac online portal. Once a CYS registration is completed, families can enroll in any available Youth Sports and Fitness programs. For further assistance with WebTrac pre-registration.

Sports Physical

A sports-specific physical must be completed annually and before the start of the sports season. The form must be completed with a doctor’s signature and stamp and submitted to Parent Central Services during registration. Hint: The best time to get your child’s physical, is in July. This ensures your child’s physical will be valid for all sports for one year.

Volunteers & Coaches

CYS  Volunteers

Parent volunteers are a very important resource for CYS. Registered children/youth benefit immensely from the knowledge and skill that volunteers provide to our programs. We're looking for enthusiastic people who want to help out — sharing their talents assisting and leading various activities such as reading to children, participating in field trips, making games, repairing toys, sewing with kids, etc.

Start by becoming a registered volunteer through Army Community Service's (ACS) Go-Volunteer to find out where your talents can be best used within CYS. By keeping track of your volunteer hours, you can qualify for Parent Participation Points.

Volunteer Coaching

Did you play sports in high school or college? Have you always wanted to coach football, soccer or basketball? Are you a cheerleader at heart? Even if you have never played or coached a sport before, you can still become a certified volunteer coach! CYS Volunteer Coaches encourage all children to explore the world of sports, learn the fundamentals of good sportsmanship and have fun at the same time. 

Contact CYS Sports and Fitness to begin.
