Youth Sports Leagues for girls and boys: Baseball/softball, basketball and soccer. An ongoing effort to offer the children and parents of our community a safe and positive environment while participating in sports. As an entirely volunteer effort we offer kids ages 16 and under a quality opportunity to learn at all ages and compete seriously when and if they desire the opportunity.

We turn no one away - we are globally accepting without regard to race, color, creed, or religious belief. At SHYP we use sports as a metaphor to life. Good sportsmanship always, teamwork, dedication, and the opportunity to be part of a very special family atmosphere.
