What does it mean to be a Certified Youth Sports Administrator (CYSA)?
CYSAs are an elite group of professionals that have earned certification in the field of youth sports. They have successfully completed the Academy for Youth Sports Administrators; they have demonstrated that professional development is essential to the delivery of quality sports programs; and they are committed to raising the professionalism in youth sports!
The Certified Youth Sports Administrator (CYSA) credential is earned by successfully completing the Academy for Youth Sports Administrators' exam within the Online Academy. Prior to taking the exam, candidates must either participate in an Onsite Academy and/or must review all materials that are available within the Online Academy sections. Once a candidate satisfactorily completes all sections, the CYSA credential is earned and they join more than 4,300 other certified professionals who, together, want to offer the highest quality sports experiences in their local communities.
CYSAs have continuous access to the CYSA Area as long as their certification remains current. CYSAs are encouraged to continually log in to the CYSA Area to review information and participate in the CYSA features. Some of the resources available within the CYSA Area include:
