JCYS Northwest Family Center Sports Philosophy The basis of JCYS Northwest Family Center sports philosophy comes straight from the National Alliance for Youth Sports. NAYS is America's leading advocate for positive and safe sports and activities for children.

As a community we need to build the proficiency and confidence children need to participate and remain active in sports through 1) programs that teach the basic motor skills necessary for meaningful sports participation, 2) generating interest in lifetime activities and 3) providing a healthy fitness attitude for life.

For questions on any of these programs or to start your own league, please contact Allison Deutsch, Center Director,  at (847) 279 - 0900 (ext. 11) or via email at adeutsch@jcys.org
