Kids are not the only ones who benefit from Kids In Sports.

Families who participate along with their kids win, too. Families participate by attending parent orientation meetings to learn about the program and how to prepare their kids to participate. Parents attend their kids' practices and games, meeting their friends and other parents, school and parks personnel. Parents also volunteer to help with program registration, to wash uniforms, serve goodies at the snack bar and to be team parents, helping organize and operate programs.

Other parents volunteer to serve as KIS team coaches, receiving training and assistance from KIS, the LA84 Foundation and other resources. And finally other parents, joined by school and parks administrators, community business leaders and other interested adults volunteer at each site as KIS sports club advisory board members, making KIS programs happen. 
 
KIS also has tournaments and other special events year round that are great opportunities to get involved for just one day. Most of these events are perfect for groups or families that would like to volunteer together. To participate in KIS, please contact us at 213/765-1900, or talk to the your local sports club contact listed in the club location pages.
