Training For the Future
We’re not here to replace competitive sports—we’re here to develop the key life skills that sports were designed to teach: character, confidence, leadership, sportsmanship, and teamwork.
With once-a-week practices and a team-based community service project, we utilize sports to help kids develop the mindset and skills they need to thrive both on and off the field.

How It Works?
Whether your child already plays sports or has never participated in team sports, our league is designed to provide a fun and stress-free outlet with built-in life lessons to help every child grow, not just as an athlete, but as a confident, resilient, and socially aware individual.
With the high demands and crazy schedules of today’s sports, we’ve made it simple, meaningful, and easy to fit into your family’s life. Each season is designed to deliver impact without overwhelming your schedule. Here’s how we keep it simple:
Register Online
Click 'Register Now' to register for the Fall, Winter, or Spring season. Our league is open to boys and girls in grades K-10, and every child, regardless of athletic ability, is welcome.
Once-a-week Practices
Kids meet once a week for 60-90 minutes of fun, interactive team-based sessions that blend sports and personal development. No Weekend games or crazy schedules.
Real-World Life Skills
Rather than training to win games, each team works together on a community service project they complete by the end of the season, practicing teamwork and leadership skills in a real-life context.
Warm Up: Deep Breaths
Each practice begins with teaching kids to take intentional deep breaths—in through the nose, out through the mouth. We incorporate this technique into our warm-ups to provide an effective tool for managing stress and refocusing their minds.
Sportsmanship
Sportsmanship is something we build into every practice. From the start, players are encouraged to support each other, communicate respectfully, and celebrate effort over outcome. Through games and challenges, kids learn how to win with humility and lose with grace.
Emotional Intelligence
We integrate emotional intelligence skills into each practice to help kids develop self-awareness, self-management, and resilience. Through sports activities and guided reflections, players learn how to manage frustration, communicate effectively, and understand how emotions impact their performance.
Stress Free Outlet
Each practice allows kids to play for fun without adult pressures or expectations. This provides a much-needed outlet free from performance stress and an opportunity for kids to be kids.
Gratitude
Teaching kids gratitude encourages them to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the good in everyday moments. We end each practice with gratitude as a way to help kids build positive daily habits.
Why Y2S Sports?
Kids don’t just play here — they grow here.
At Y2S Sports, we believe every child deserves the chance to develop the skills that matter most: confidence, leadership, resilience, teamwork, gratitude, emotional intelligence, and a sense of purpose. Our mission is to prepare the next generation for the real world
Training For The Future
Good character doesn’t develop automatically; it develops through character education, external influences, and practice. Just as soccer teaches the game’s skills, Youth To Society Sports teaches the inner skills needed to improve in sports and everyday life.

Community Over Competition
Instead of measuring success through winning games and scoring points, teams work together toward a shared purpose, measuring success through the impact they make. By alleviating individual pressure to perform for personal gain, players learn the true meaning of teamwork and collaboration, while building a sense of belonging and responsibility within the community.
Social Skills Through Accountability
Research shows adolescents are more likely to turn to their peers, rather than a professional or adult during stressful moments. Learning how to ask for and provide support is a teachable skill. Pairing players up into accountability buddies is a way to create teachable moments for players to learn and practice being supportive teammates and friends on and off the field.
Fun & Pressure-Free
With the rise in sports specialization, most kids drop out by age 13. Providing a youth league that uses sports in a fun and non-competitive environment is a way to keep kids active within the community and invested in their mental well-being. We create a fun, pressure-free environment to build emotional skills, social skills, sportsmanship, teamwork, leadership, and essential life skills to improve in sports and everyday life.

Coaches. Role Models. Mentors.
There is an increasing understanding of the positive influence that peer role models and mentors can have on youth development, which is why our coaches are local high school seniors. Having someone relatable and closer in age makes their advice more trustworthy, making kids more receptive.
Before each season, coaches undergo training in the curriculum to effectively serve as both coaches and mentors for their team of players.
As Denzel Washington said, “Show me a successful individual, and I’ll show you someone who had real positive influences in his or her life. I’m sure someone was cheering you on or showing you the way-a mentor.”
Selection Process
We work with local high schools athletic department to find senior athletes who have the qualities to be role models and mentors for the kids in our program.
Training
Before each season, we train the coaches on the curriculum, mission, vision, and core values of Y2S Sports.
Weekly Practices
Coaches follow the curriculum during weekly practices, which includes helping their teams organize and plan for the league-wide community service project.
Role Models and Mentors
Our coaches bring similar energy and relatability to our players, which provides a unique opportunity for coaches to be role models and mentors for each player on their team
