Training For The Future
Given the current mental health epidemic, we must take a proactive approach and equip youth with the inner life skills needed for society. The next generation is our future, and if the world keeps making advances, but as a society, we aren’t advancing the way we equip youth for the future; we are setting them up for failure.
Just as we have schools for academics, churches for religion, and sports for athletics, Youth To Society Sports equips youth for the future by replacing the ball with the mind and the only competition is with who you were yesterday

Sports

How We Operate
Our fall, winter, and spring seasons run for twelve weeks long and run similar to other sports organizations. Each season develops social and emotional life skills and the community service project follows a seasonal theme. a different set of skills and community service project fun, safe, non-competitive, 'sports' environment.
Fall
Our fall season is a time to practice gratitude and extend a helping hand during the holiday season to those experiencing homelessness, poverty, or other hardships that prevent them from providing for their families.
Winter
Christmas should be a joyful time for children worldwide, but unfortunately, it is not always the case. Typical activities during this season include organizing Christmas caroling, toy drives, and finding ways to bring Christmas to children’s hospitals.
Spring
As the weather warms up, it’s a great opportunity to show our love for the environment by planting trees and flowers, cleaning up community spaces, and learning about waste management and environmental preservation.
Summer Camps
Our summer camps are just the right mix of structure and freedom. We’ve got a thoughtfully planned schedule to keep the day fun and exciting, but we also believe summer is a time where a kid should be a kid; having fun, and making memories. So while we have a rhythm to our days—filled with sports, team challenges, creative activities, and a community service project—we also go with the flow and base the day around the vibe and energy of the kids.
