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.

We all play a part in making sure the youth in our programs feel included and safe by ensuring that the physical environment, activities, and programs offered are welcoming to all youth. This guide provides youth program managers and training specialists with strategies for implementing practices within their programs to promote a sense of safety, belonging, and purpose for all youth.
