1st Asian Youth Games 2009
1st Youth Olympic Games 2010

Youth of the World start training up and be qualified for Singapore.
Just an added attraction of news in sports.
Swimmer Tao Li broke the World Cup Series 100m Butterfly Record in Berlin, yesterday. Another known figure in S’pore to accept challenges from the World for the next 8 years.
Latest, Tao Li got 3 medals from Berlin but no attraction this time in S’pore, the people or the press or TV. Something strange….Why?

All of them try very hard to qualified for " Singapore ", some of them even don’t no where is Singapore at this time ! till 2010 ! Because Singapore always doing very great for every things.

I am relocating to Toledo, Ohio from Oakland, California. My son is active in both basketball and football. He has played for the city league for youth. So I’m looking for something like that for him in Toledo. We are making Toledo our home and I want him involved in the sports program for youth. He is 13 years old. Also if there is a women softball team, I’d be interested in that myself. Thanks.

look for a local rec center. Or a YMCA. They are bound to have youth sports there

Ole-Ole-Ole, that’s what the Liberty Wizards youth soccer team chanted after their Midwest Classic Champions tourney win! Capturing those winning moments on camera – only the best youth sports videos live on Weplay.com

Looking for a sponsor writer that can volunteer his / her time. Since 2003 we have been educating youth in Various sports. Unfortunately these youth come from unfortunate back grounds. We are in need of sponsors to up cover facility rental, equipment used, uniforms, and traveling expenses.

You should post your request for volunteer services on http://www.idealist.org and http://volunteermatch.org

My son plays in a youth sports league and the team was slide tackling to get the ball. I thought this was illegal in play?

not illegal if they play the ball. Only commits foul if takes player without ball.
The Grey area is that it is at the discretion of the ref as to the outcome.

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov – these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.

Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants — all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same – hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.

For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center’s Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It’s a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don’t have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

I think it is the look on a kid’s face when he executes a play like he was taught & it works. Another rewarding thing is when I actually get them to listen to what they are told… instead of stepping on the foot of a team mate or staring into space.
I laugh about a lot of the things they do, but get a big lift when I find some kid actually listened to something I said. Getting a kid to think of helping his team instead of himself always gives one a sense of accomplishment. Every child wants to be the center of attention & directing them to do something that allows someone else to get the attention is counter to their instincts. That is why one must always look for a good block or defensive action to praise a kid for. Sometimes a kid will learn to praise the actions of a team mate helping to make a play & that is very up lifting.
Perhaps the most rewarding thing is to see the change in attitude playing a sport can induce in a kid.

you could have hot dog and pop can fund raisers to collect money or even a car wash….but going to a local restaurant or fast food chain and asking them would be the best…or if there is a veterans club around like the army and navy…they donate allot….i know the royal Canadian legion in Canada spends lots on youth sponsorship…

We are running a Youth Sports League in Arizona and want feedback from parents on what they like and dislike about youth sports. We are doing this for the kids, we want it to be fun!

What’s wrong right now is the degree of competitiveness that you see in the parents. They want to repair their failures through their children. And like it or not…their children are going to win, win, win no matter what the cost to the child.

You see the consequences on TV all the time…Dad beats up his 4 year old son’s soccer coach; Moms get into a fistfight in the bleachers at a pee-wee football game; Coach tackles and assaults member of opposing team. It’s pathetic.

If sports are going to be fun…then it has to be fun for the children. Not for the adults. If a kid isn’t having fun, he should never be forced to play just because his parents want him to win someday.

What’s good about sports: It gives children exercise. It can teach them how to lose and still feel good.
