LIVING A BIG LIFE

 NEXTyouthsports was established to change the world of youth sports.

 The intent of NYS is not to simply help start meaningful ventures and rest on the laurels of success. It is to leverage resources and relationships to achieve an innovative vision for helping young student-athletes prepare for full lives beyond competition on the field or court.

WHAT WE DO

 NYS partners with sporting communities and organizations to generate economic growth with events and programs that make a difference. It’s all about learning to live a Big Life.

 But that means more than just hosting tournaments for thousands of kids each year. It’s about a long term approach that also involves recreation-focused learning, sports wellness, and the management of youth athletics. Competition. Education. Wellness. Business.

  Effectively combining these as the four pillars of an integrated strategy is the foundation of the Youth Sports Generation 4.0—a term coined by NYS to define the evolution of athletics into a preparation place for life after competition-centered recreation.
