The proven benefits of participation in sports are wide-ranging—children can use sports to improve physical fitness, mental acuity, communication skills, leadership and perseverance.

According to Paul Caccamo, a leader in the sports-based youth development movement: “Sports are more than a game; they are a set of life lessons… Young athletes learn to work together, acquire leadership skills, get a sense of discipline and learn communication skills… All of these things are keys to success in the workplace.”

Joining a youth sports team is a rite of passage in many communities. The City of Las Vegas seeks to ensure children, regardless of their ability to pay, can participate in these positive programs.

Partnership Opportunities

Partnership opportunities are available in a range of levels – from sponsoring entire leagues to sponsoring individual children and teems, and providing funding to purchase sports equipment, coaching services, team uniforms, trophies, scholarships, wellness activities, and underwriting special sports clinics.
