Overview of the NYSP

The National Youth Sports Program (NYSP) at Case Western Reserve University provides an enriching five-week summer experience that combines sports activities, educational enrichment, career planning, nutrition, and health services to more than 300 Greater Cleveland participants ages 8-16 each year.

The program's objectives include:

  • expanding sports-skill opportunities for participants from low-income families to improve physical fitness and promote an active lifestyle.
  • helping participants acquire good health practices.
  • acquainting students with career and educational opportunities by providing experienced personnel and quality facilities from a renowned institution.
  • providing a safe environment to play, learn and grow.

All participants receive free medical screenings and free meals, both of which reinforce concepts of good health for life.
