SPOKANE YOUTH SPORTS ASSOCIATION

Description

Our History

SYSA has been contributing to youth sports in the Greater Spokane region for the last 57 years. Most families in the Spokane area have been involved with SYSA as players, coaches, or spectators since it began as a junior football organization in 1965. Since then we have grown to over 9,000 participants from the ages of 4 to 18 who participate in a variety of sports programs and camps, including basketball, soccer, football, baseball, softball, lacrosse, volleyball, track & field, cross-country, and dodgeball. In the last few years, we have also added clinics for our coaches and a young adult’s sports program. We currently provide year-round, affordable, safe, and fun opportunities for our young people to play a sport, learn good sportsmanship, develop leadership skills, instill a healthy lifestyle and participate as a team member. In addition, we organize over 1,000 adult volunteers on a yearly basis as coaches, committee and board members, and community helpers.
