Youth sports are a great way for kids and teens to get the recommended amount of physical activity each day and give them the confidence they need to succeed in life. The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) is pleased to announce a National Youth Sports Strategy (NYSS) webinar: “Coaching Youth Sports: Tips to Keep Kids in the Game.” On June 25, 1 to 2 p.m. ET, ODPHP will be joined by members of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition (PCSFN) and NYSS Champion organizations to provide youth sports coaches with tips and resources to help young athletes get active, prevent burnout, and gain important life skills. Panelists include University of Delaware Basketball Coach Martin Ingelsby and former MLB Player Ryan Howard — both members of the PCSFN — as well as representatives from the Positive Coaching Alliance, National Alliance for Youth Sports, and U.S. Soccer Foundation.
