USA Diving, USA Roller Sports, USA Cycling, US Ski and Snowboard Association, USA Skateboarding, regional and local organizations, schools, and clubs to help further the education of the organizations, coaches, parents, and participants. We know that it is not possible to eliminate all risk and injuries from playing sports we look to reduce the number of head injuries suffered every year by young athletes. US Youth Sports does not take donations from any sporting goods manufacturer or endorse any brand of product.
US Youth Sports would like to have all youth sporting facilities post the CDC "young athletes of all sports" poster. This poster is available free from the CDC.
