This Navy Youth Sports and Fitness (YSF) Standard is designed to assist all Navy Child and Youth Programs by standardizing opportunities for youth participation in sports and fitness activities on-base or in close proximity to where Navy families live off-base. YSF programming helps Navy families balance the demands of family life and military readiness by providing opportunities for youth to engage in rewarding physical activity and by exposing youth to positive lifestyle behaviors. Standardizing the opportunities for youth participation in a variety of sports, fitness, health, and recreational activities throughout Navy installations allows military families to effectively and efficiently use available resources.

The Navy YSF Operating Manual was developed to define, standardize program delivery, and enrich Navy CYP programming Navy- wide. In order to support the implementation of the Navy YSF program, a comprehensive training and assessment plan has been developed to support installation personnel through the process. (Enclosure 1) Programs are required to implement the standards found in the Navy YSF Operating Manual by the end of FY2014.
