Sports matter! It is about so much more for our kids. Study after study shows that kids who play sports are healthier physically, emotionally, and socially. They do better in school and are more likely to graduate from high school. They stay away from trouble and grow up into responsible citizens.
The Salem Youth Sports Alliance exists to help educate parents, policymakers, and community leaders on the benefits of youth sports, and to advocate for greater financial support, facility planning, and community integration for our sporting clubs and groups in Salem.
