Youth Sports

Our philosophy and mission is to provide organized leagues as well as informal sports and fitness activities for youth ages 4-17. Our goal is to provide every participant an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of whatever particular sport they choose. We want to place the kids in a fun and learning environment that ranges from noncompetitive to low-key competitive for younger ages 4-10, and a normal competitive environment for ages 11-17.

Shaw AFB Youth Programs has fully implemented the National Standards for Youth Sports and is in strict accordance and compliance with AFI 34-249 and AFMAN 34-804. Combined, these two instruments ensure that every youth comes away from our program with a positive and rewarding experience.

Volunteer Coaches

Volunteer Coaches are the backbone to the youth sports program. If you love sports and enjoy children this is the job for you! Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back to the Shaw community and provide mentorship to young athletes as they grow into the sport.

Contact the Youth Sports Director at 895-2252 for information on registration, and volunteer opportunities for coaching.
