Dear Park & Recreation Professional,
Would you like to learn a little more about enhancing the youth sports experience in your community? Find out whats happening around our state in youth sports? The OPRA Youth Sports Committee is hosting a breakfast on Friday, February 10th at 8:00 a.m. during the 2006 Conference to share their experiences and knowledge.
In 2001 a survey identifying needs in the youth sports community highlighted the following:
82% believe there is a need for programs that enhance the experience of sports for youth
82% believe that youth in their community are in need of certified coaches and trained parents to improve their youth sport experience
Since implementing NAYS programs these stats have changed:
62% believe that parents behaviors at games have improved and 81% believe that coaches behaviors with youth have improved
74% believe that
youth sport participant satisfaction has improved
67% believe that parent-league relationships and league agency relationships are better
The mission of the Ohio Youth Sports Committee: Provides resources and programs to educated and promote positive youth sports.
If you are interested in learning how your community can implement some of principles involved and find out what the Youth Sports Committee is all about please attend the breakfast. All we need is an R.S.V.P. by Friday, January 30th. Send your reply to Jeannie Brewer at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] or fax it to 740-387-9183.
