ABOUT

The Youth Sports Alliance (YSA) was established as a legacy of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games to increase the number of children participating in winter sports in Summit and Wasatch Counties.   YSA is dedicated to getting all kids outside, pursuing new adventures while leaving their screens behind.  Research shows that active kids do better in life-- physically, emotionally, socially and financially.  Our mission is to bring the benefits of physical activity to all children in our community, regardless of their family finances, gender, race or abilities.

We run affordable afterschool programs that include opportunities to learn to ski, mountain bike, sail, cook, photograph and 40 other options. Additionally, YSA provides fundraising support to seven competitive winter sport teams. Through these efforts, we engage more than 3,500 youth each year and provide tangible need-based financial support along all stages of their athletic journeys.
