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.
