The University of Toledo National Youth Sports Program
Special to The Truth
For the last 46 years, the National Youth Sports Program (NYSP)
has provided income eligible youth between the ages of nine
and 16 educational and recreational opportunities to enhance
their self-image, and teach the value of communication,
learn lifetime leisure pursuits and to develop peer refusal
skills and learn healthy nutrition and health behaviors.
This program serves as a model for fair play and contributes
to the development of life skills that are necessary for
success in a competitive society. With generous donations
from community partners, our program is able to provide its
participants with a FREE summer program that includes a
medical exam, transportation, daily sports instruction i.e.
basketball and track, an alcohol and other drug awareness
education, general education i.e. personal nutrition,
self-esteem, etc., t-shirts, and a daily USDA approved hot
lunch.
NYSP is located on the main campus of the University of
Toledo which will operate from 10:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, starting June 5 through June 23,
2017.
An NYSP application/medical exam form is required to be
completed in order for participants to register for this
year’s program. NYSP will be offering free medical
examinations, administered by the Toledo Children’s
Hospital- Center for Health Services on May 24th
from 4:30pm-6:30pm.
