Educated adults – Well-prepared and knowledgeable coaches, administrators, officials, and parents with positive attitudes ca n greatly enhance the entire sports experience for youth. National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS) provides high quality video trainings – live or online – for the adults involved in community youth sports programs. Membership in our nationally recognized associations ensures on-going education and benefits including insurance coverage.
 Coach Rating System – Chapters have the included benefit of utilizing our convenient online coach evaluation system. Parents easily evaluate their child’s coach online and results are available to the Chapter. While many organizations may already have an evaluation system in place, the Coach Rating System provides a unique perspective from the parents.Online Chapter Management Area – All Chapters have a personalized online Chapter Management Area at NAYS.org where they can view their coaches training and membership status, prepay for Online Clinics, request or input coach background check information, send online coach evaluation to parents, and much more!
 Background screening – NAYS recommends all Chapters develop a screening system for their youth sports volunteers. Through our partnership with Protect Youth Sports, we are able to provide our Chapters with a discount on background checks for coaches. If background checks are requested from Protect Youth Sports through the Chapter Management area at NAYS.org, the results for each coach will automatically be stored alongside each coach’s NYSCA membership information. If a Chapter already has a system for screening coaches, that is great! Our feature is just here for added convenience. Value – NAYS offers very competitive pricing for youth sports volunteer education programs. What sets our programs apart are the on-going education and benefits for our members and also the convenient resources and tools we provide to our Chapters. When considering these unmatched factors, NAYS absolutely provides the most value for the cost.
Flexibility – Some chapters mandate all of their coaches attend a live NYSCA clinic each year while others simply suggest the NYSCA Online Clinic to their coaches. There is a wide range of ways Chapters can be involved with the National Alliance for Youth Sports. Each organization decides what is best for their needs.
 National awards eligibility – NAYS Chapters have the opportunity to showcase their community’s youth sports culture by applying for the Excellence in Youth Sports Award. Also, your NYSCA coaches and PAYS parents will qualify to be nominated for the annual Coach and Parent of the Year Awards. Award winners are recognized at the annual Youth Sports Congress and also at their state and community level.
