FROM: Linda Probert, Ass stant Director RE: National Alliance for Youth
of Parks and Recreation Sports Clinics for youth sport
leagues coachesiparents
Recommendation:
I recommend consideration by the Broward Sheriffs Office to provide funding for the provision
of clinics for Tamarac's youth sports coaches and parents, facilitated by staff of the Tamarac
Parks and Recreation Department.
Issue:
The Parks and Recreation Department intends to provide onsite clinics for the coaches and
parents of our youth sports leagues. The clinics will be structured in accordance with the
National Alliance for Youth Sports Standards. The department is requesting funding assistance
for the provision of the clinics.
Backaround:
The National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS) is America's leading advocate for providing a
safe, positive and fun youth sports experience. The organization has continually taken a
leadership role to assimilate and share best practices for youth sports_ As leaders they have
developed the National Standards for Youth Sports which have served as the blueprint for how
thousands of recreation professionals have conducted youth sports programs in an effort to
provide a positive experience. The purpose of the Standards is to provide a framework by
which youth sports programs are designed and executed.
Based on recent events that have taken place within our sports leagues, the Tamarac Parks
and Recreation Department has reinstated the Tamarac Chapter of NAYS. Through this
Chapter we will conduct onsite interactive clinics for our youth sports league coaches and
parents. The clinics will assist us in establishing and maintaining a safe and positive youth
sports experience for the children and volunteers participating in youth sports in our
community. It will be required that all coaches and a minimum of one parent from each
household attend the training.
NAYS Onsite Clinics

The Parks and Recreation Department staff will serve as the Clinicians and will facilitate the
clinics. The NAYS standards, positive coaching and/or parent behavior skills and the code of
ethics is provided to clinic attendees by instructors via DVD and through written
correspondence. All coaches are required to complete a test at the end of the clinic and sign
the coaches' code of ethics. All parents are required to complete the clinic and sign the
parents' code of ethics.
The cost to provide the clinics is $20.00 per person for coaches and $5,00 per family for the
Parents training. The $20.00 annual fee for coaches includes: The interactive clinic, quarterly
Youth sports journal, certificate of completion, membership card, $1,000.000 excess general
liability insurance (while acting in the capacity of an administrator) and a subscription to
Sporting Kid Magazine. The Parents Association for Youth Sports (PAYS) annual fee includes:
the clinic, PAYS handbook, PAYS parent card, and one complimentary issue of Sporting Kid
Magazine.
Currently we offer the following youth sports in Tamarac: girl's softball, tackle football, flag
football, baseball, basketball, and soccer. The costs for the program are broken down as
follows,
