Central Ohio Youth Sports Collaborative

The Central Ohio Youth Sports Collaborative (COYSC) is a collective of community-based organizations focusing on play equity and sports-based youth development in Central Ohio.

Every child — regardless of location, income, or ability — should have access to fun and fulfilling physical activities that build confidence and set them on a path for lifelong success.

COYSC Goals

  1. Increase the number of quality sports opportunities for youth in Central Ohio
  2. Increase the number of youth participating in quality sports in Central Ohio
  3. Increase the number of qualified coaches and officials who have been trained to prioritize social and emotional skill development in youth participants
  4. Increase the number of networking opportunities and promote potential partnerships between youth sports organizations
