Boston Youth Sports Initiative

Students: America Scores New England

"Children and youth who participate in well-implemented programs and activities outside of school are poised to stay enrolled longer and perform better in school than their peers who do not attend such programs." ~Expanded Learning Opportunities: Pathways to Student Success, Priscilla Little (Harvard Family Research Project)

The purpose of the Boston Youth Sports Initiative (BYSI) is to promote youth sports as a positive youth development and physical fitness approach through network building. The BYSI was created for the network of providers and supporters of youth sports all over the city.
