About Us
The YSRC develops, synthesizes, and disseminates information about the influence of physical activity and organized sports on the healthy development of children and adolescents. Our award-winning educational programs are designed for recreation directors, coaches, parents, and administrators of youth sports leagues.
Since 1986, the YSRC has partnered with the New Jersey Recreation and Park Association (NJRPA) to provide training to more than 300,000 volunteer youth sports coaches and thousands of municipal recreation directors throughout the state of New Jersey.
