It’s National Youth Sports Week!

This year’s National Youth Sports Week is September 23 – 28. Together with the National Council of Youth Sports, we celebrate the transformative power of youth sports. This week is dedicated to highlighting sports’ positive impact on young people, advocating for their importance, and providing valuable resources to strengthen youth sports programs. USA Cheer shares the vision of the transformative power of play and the collective responsibility of safeguarding youth.

Committed to promoting unity, growth, and celebration, USA Cheer and NCYS aim to spotlight the positive impact of youth sports, empower young athletes, and advocate for safe and inclusive sports environments throughout this week-long event. We extend a warm invitation to all who share our dedication to young athletes to join us in celebrating this occasion.
