"I truly believe the parents thought of the NAYS Parent Training as just another hurdle to pass through to get their child involved, but once they took the class they were impressed. Many parents came up to us after the first class and said they wished some of the other leagues in our community would make this mandatory! The class has made everybody accountable on the field."

NAYS Parent Orientation & Membership Program

parents association for youth sports training and membership

Overview

NAYS Parent Orientation & Membership Program, formerly the Parents Association for Youth Sports or PAYS, is an education and membership program that supports youth sports parents while helping youth sports organizations eradicate parent issues. NAYS Parent Orientation has set a standard for parent orientation programs by providing a video-based training which offers a simple, effective way to make youth sports parents aware of their roles and responsibilities, as well as ways they can make their child’s experience more enjoyable and positive. 

The training and membership fee is $5 per family for parents affiliated with a NAYS Member Organization and $9.95 for others.

Training

Parents participate in a 40-minute orientation course either online or at an on-site orientation. The video features Chris McKendry, ESPN SportsCenter anchor, and covers topics such as safety, injury prevention, preventing and identifying steroid abuse, modeling sportsmanship, plus more. Through the program parents learn everything from the importance of proper behavior to how to help keep their young athletes safe.
