| Welcome to Kids in Sports LA |
|
Kids In Sports was founded in 1994 with proceeds earmarked for volunteer based nonprofit organizations from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The mission of KIS is to provide high quality, low cost, sport opportunities for underserved youth while encouraging family and community involvement through the formation and management of neighborhood sports clubs in Los Angeles County. Throughout the year, three seasons of team sports are provided at each of KIS’ eleven sports clubs. All eleven clubs are managed and operated by KIS’ strong program staff and assisted by KIS trained neighborhood volunteers. Parents, park staff, school personnel and other interested neighborhood adults are recruited to volunteer their time as coaches, team parents, officials and sports club advisory committee members. The program itself focuses on serving children ages 5-17 who live in poor, underserved neighborhoods with few affordable resources devoted to local youth.
Over 3,000 of the more than 8,500 athletes participating in KIS clubs are girls who are served by a focused G.I.R.L.S. (Girls In Recreation, Leadership and Sports) Program which gives them their own separate and nurturing environment in which to play. KIS constantly aims to provide gender equity throughout its sports clubs. Started in 1996 with 90 girls in a single basketball league, this program has grown and now offers year round opportunities to young
