Youth Sports and Fitness

Sports and Fitness Programs provide team sports, individual sports, fitness and health programs and, programming at Child Development Centers, School Age and Youth Programs. Pre-registration is required for Sports and Fitness Programs. Children and youth that are currently registered in CYS can be enrolled in Sports and Fitness using WebTrac.

The National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS) has a website for evaluation of coaches. Parents have the opportunity to evaluate coaches on the NAYS website. Parents must have the coach member number to rate their coach. You can get this number from the CYS Sports and Fitness office. 

Sports Physical

A sports-specific physical must be completed annually, prior to the start of the sports season. The form must be completed with a doctor’s signature and stamp, then submitted to Parent Central Services during registration. Hint: The best time to get your child’s physical — if possible — is in July. This way, your child’s physical will be valid for all sports for one full year.

7. How early must my child have a physical on file before participating in a sport?

It is recommended that your child have a current sports physical at the time of registration for any sports activity. Registration can be completed without a current physical, though participation in practice and/or games will not be allowed without a current sports physical. The health assessment and any special needs documents must be cleared before they can participate. Turning it in does not guarantee clearance that day. Health Assessments/Sports Physicals are valid for one year.
