Welcome to the Official Home of the Youth Sports Alliance!
The Youth Sports Alliance (YSA) is a 100% community youth based not-for-profit organization, whose sole mission is to provide quality youth sports programming, for inner city and area youth within the urban and surrounding suburban communities of the City of Grand Rapids. The YSA was created to keep our inner city and area youth ages 7-14 busy, during key downtime hours when our community youth are in arms way to find trouble.
Using sports as the “hook”, to motivate and teach our community youth the steps to excel in academics and achieve their highest level of self fulfillment and personal development, in terms of physical, social, moral and spiritual aspects of life.
The YSA is powered by a consortium of caring parents and community volunteers from all walks of life, who have made the commitment to step to the plate and assist in restructuring and improving youth sports and recreation opportunities, for our community youth of the City of Grand Rapids.
