Testimonials
"Backyard Sports allowed my child to build confidence as a first time player in an often overly competitive youth sports landscape. My son was nervous to try new sports as he was starting later than some of the other children. After the first class with Coach Vin, the car ride home was nothing but smiles. Ten years later, my son enjoys sports as part of his everyday life, and we owe that to Backyard Sports."
- Long Time BYS Parent/Scarsdale, NY Resident
Community Outreach
To meet the growing needs of our community we facilitate Backyard Sports Cares, Inc. a not for profit corporation committed to the improvement of children's lives through participation in sports. Backyard Sports Cares will provide programming and resources for those in need.
We are looking for young student leaders to volunteer as peer mentors in our existing programs.
