| Welcome to Kids in Sports LA |
|
The mission of Kids In Sports LA (KIS) is to create community based sports programs for youth in underserved areas of Los Angeles County.
The LA84 Foundation conceived the original Sports Club concept in 1989, and KIS was established as a non-profit organization with seed money from the Foundation in 1994. Kids In Sports currently operates 13 clubs that deliver sports activities in baseball, T-ball, basketball, soccer, softball, swimming and volleyball and serves more than 8,000 youth annually. Boys and girls, ages 5 to 17, participate in year-round sports programs at parks and schools. Regularly scheduled practices and competitions are conducted in the evenings and on weekends during the consecutive sports seasons. In 15 years of dedicated community service, Kids In Sports is proud to have served over 130,000 Los Angeles County youth.
Each Sports Club is a partnership between the members of the community, parks, schools and Kids In Sports. Parents and other interested neighborhood residents are recruited to volunteer their time as coaches and as Sports Club advisory committee members. Organizations such as city and county departments of recreation and parks and area schools provide meeting rooms and sports facilities. KIS manages all aspects of each sports club, supplies the necessary equipment and uniforms, pays for certified officials and provides guidance, technical assistance and training to volunteers.
