South Stevens County Youth Sports Association

South Stevens County Youth Sports Association (SSCYSA) is a volunteer-led, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing youth in our surrounding communities with opportunities to participate in organized sports in a positive, encouraging, and supportive environment.

Based in Springdale, Washington, SSCYSA proudly serves families throughout South Stevens County and surrounding areas, including Springdale, Loon Lake, Valley, Wellpinit, Hunters, and Deer Park.

We offer a variety of youth sports programs, including basketball, baseball, T-ball, wrestling, and NFL Flag Football. Our programs are designed to give children of all skill levels the opportunity to learn new skills, develop confidence, build friendships, and experience the value of being part of a team.

Behind every season is a dedicated group of volunteer board members, coaches, parents, and community supporters who believe in investing in our youth.

At SSCYSA, we believe youth sports are about more than wins and losses. They're about building character, creating memories, developing lifelong skills, and bringing our communities together.

Built on Community. Growing Through Opportunity.

South Stevens County Youth Sports Association was founded by Tim Goad along with other parents with a vision of creating more opportunities for local youth to participate in organized sports and experience the benefits of teamwork, competition, and community involvement.

What started as an effort to provide more opportunities for kids in our area has continued to grow through the dedication and support of local families, volunteers, coaches, and community members.

Since 2022, SSCYSA has expanded its offerings to include basketball, baseball, t-ball, softball and NFL Flag Football, as well as maintaining wrestling, reaching families across multiple surrounding communities. Each season brings new athletes, new experiences, and more opportunities for children to discover their interests and develop their abilities.

Our organization is especially proud of its local roots. The majority of our board members are Mary Walker alumni, and several have grown up in the very communities we now serve. We understand the importance of having opportunities close to home and believe in giving back to the communities that helped shape us.

As we continue to grow, our commitment remains the same: creating opportunities for the next generation while strengthening the communities we call home.

Creating Opportunities. Building Character. Strengthening Community.

The mission of South Stevens County Youth Sports Association is to provide accessible, positive, and meaningful athletic opportunities for youth in our communities.

We strive to create an environment where every child has the opportunity to:

* Grow: Develop athletic abilities, learn new skills, and build confidence.

* Connect: Form friendships, build relationships, and become part of a team.

* Learn: Understand the importance of sportsmanship, respect, dedication, and responsibility.

* Compete: Experience healthy competition while learning how to handle both victories and challenges.

* Belong: Feel supported, encouraged, and valued regardless of skill level or experience.

We believe the lessons learned through youth sports extend far beyond the playing field. Through teamwork, hard work, commitment, and community involvement, we hope to help shape not only better athletes but stronger, more confident young people.

Our goal is to make a lasting difference, one athlete, one team, and one season at a time.
