For over 20 years, National Youth Sports (NYS) has organized and managed youth sports leagues from across the nation, from Florida to California. And we are still expanding!

NYS is an affordable sports league run by actual sports performance specialists. We refuse to offer the same old boring sports program. Creativity and innovation are highly encouraged in our youth sports programs.

In addition to offering the most popular youth sports in one location, NYS leagues also offer girls volleyball and softball, non-competitive 8-Man tackle football and competitive 11-Man tackle football. Sports offered vary by location.

Age divisions vary by sport, season and location. Some sports allow players to participate as early as 3-years-old or as late as 16-years-old.

More advanced players may play up into the next age division if their age is within one year of the next division’s age range. Players are not allowed to move down in a younger division. Age cut off is September 1 or August 1, depending by your league area’s preference.

At NYS our program is designed with every skill level in mind. From the beginner to the advanced athlete, everyone gets equal playing time. All teams are formed to ensure a balanced team on every level.

Yes! NYS ensures that special needs participants have a positive sporting experience. Please discuss your specific needs with the League Director to ensure the best placement.

All Year Sports (AYS) works exclusively with participating NYS leagues to provide parents with the opportunity to purchase end-of-season trophies and photo keepsakes. Each trophy style and photo theme are custom to each sport, change from season to season. Trophies, medals, and some photo products can be personalized with the player’s name and team name.

By allowing parents to purchase trophies themselves, it keeps our operating expenses down which allows us to pass those savings on to our parents. AYS also donates a portion of the proceeds from photo and trophy sales back into NYS.

Learn more about Photos and Trophies.

All registration fees pay for the operation of the league. They cover game jersey*, liability/medical/property insurance, Saturday facility/field rentals, site directors/officials and other administrative expenses.

The NYS league is sponsored by a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization and receives no government funding or subsidization. Also there is no additional fundraising required such as selling candy bars, etc.

Items NOT covered are photo packages, participation trophies, and in some areas Photo ID. Visit your local league area page for more information.

Game jersey is included, unless otherwise stated under sport description.

We purposely price our registration fee substantially lower than our competitors in order to make our program affordable for everyone. Contact your local league about registration specials in your area.

• Register online.
• Mail or hand deliver the printable registration form to your local NYS office. Make checks payable to NYS.

Parents MUST attend the Parent/Team meeting. More information and meeting times are listed under the Important Dates section of your local league area page. Parents will be expected to be involved with their child’s team.

Unable to make the meeting? An appointed coach should contact you by the following Tuesday after the meeting with team details. If you do not hear from a coach by that Tuesday evening, please call our office.

The Parent/Team Meeting (PTM) is where you meet your team mates and appoint a volunteer coach, schedule practices, and get your game schedule. This is also the perfect time to present questions to your League Director. PTMs are scheduled one week before the start of the season.

Partial refunds or full credit to a future season may be available, options vary by league. Refunds can be requested within 30 days of purchase. National Youth Sports has committed resources for the duration of the season based on enrollment after the registration deadline. Check with your local league about refund policies and registration deadlines.

NYS typically operates four seasons a year: Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. Season length is determined by each local league and can vary in length.

Check with your local league for season dates.

All games are played on Saturdays. Game times and days may vary based on availability of fields and gymnasiums.

Game locations and maps are located on your local league area sports pages. Locations can also be found on game schedules.

Parents are encouraged to always bring bottled water for use during the game and snacks for after the game. If your game is held outdoors, sunblock protection is suggested. Location accommodations vary, it is recommended that you bring a chair as there may be very limited or no seating.

Generally, game cancellations will be announced on Facebook. Please be sure to like us on Facebook.

Thunder and lighting means auto cancellation. Rain may cause cancellation. It is up to each individual facility whether we may use their fields during rain or not. Contact with your local sports coordinator about cancelled games and possible makeup games. Check online, prior to game day, for current game schedules.

We will do our best to make up any cancelled games. However, as we are renting our fields and courts, several factors are out of our control and re-scheduling may not always be possible.

We believe in family involvement that require parents to participate in the operation of their child’s team by volunteering to coach or assist with practices or other operational duties.

How to volunteer to be a Coach:

• Sign up on your local league’s printable registration form.
• Check the box marked Coach or Assistant Coach when registering online.
• Appoint yourself at the Parent/Team Meeting.
• Call your local NYS office.

No. There are many vital roles to assist your team and those positions are filled by volunteer parents. NYS offers a pre-volunteer section on the registration form, but many times we utilize the Parent/Team Meeting (PTM) to assign coach roles after we have put the team together.

Any team with a coach is the result of a parent indicating on their child’ registration form of their willingness to help.

Yes. We want you to have a positive coaching experience. Practice guides and rules can be found online, on your league’s sports pages.

Coaching is key to developing character in children and about helping players achieve personal goals as well as team goals. Every coach is a role model. Your team will be more apt to achieve their goals and become great athletes when given the proper direction.

We like to reward all volunteer coaches who attend an AYS Photo Night! As the Head Coach, you will receive a complimentary wood Coach Plaque complete with your team photo! All coaches will also receive a free 5×7 “Coach Shot” with their child.

Teams are formed by age, closest school or zip code proximity. Area coordinators have authority to adjust league age divisions as necessary. NYS has the right to add players to any team until the maximum amount of players is met.

We do our best to honor friend and coach requests.

We encourage all teams to utilize daylight hours, HOA parks, or neighborhood green areas to conduct practices to avoid additional costs.

TROPHY Yes, if your children play on the same team, you may use one check to pay for all of your children. It is common practice to appoint one team representative to handle the payment for trophies. That representative is then responsible for submitting the trophy order and providing one form of payment for the entire team.

If your children are on the same team, you can conveniently order all their trophies online too!

• Please keep the team together, or know of every player’s whereabouts, as you wait for your scheduled time.

• Have your photo order form filled out prior to the shoot. Check with your coach for your team number and correct spelling of the team name.
• We ask parents to fill out separate order forms for each of their children. We are trying to make it common practice to have each player take an individual photo so we can have their photo on file. This is important for various reasons including identification purposes and future purchases with more product options.
• Payment must be paid in full by the scheduled time. We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard and Discover cards. If paying with cash, please bring exact change, as change will NOT be available at the shoot. Make checks payable to AYS. No starter checks or post-dated checks.

• Each Individual, Buddy and Coach photo will have a minimum of 2 photos taken, or more, if needed.

• Players arriving late.
• Not having photo order forms filled out prior to shoot.
• Players goofing around and not listening to the photographer’s instructions.

In order to create a smooth shooting experience, we ask that only coaches and players be allowed in the Photo Area. It becomes a safety issue, both to players and our equipment, if the Photo Area gets overcrowded.

Please do not call out to your child during their photo session. We need the players to be looking at our camera and listening to our photographer for instructions. This will also help to keep the overall noise level down.

Yes! We like to reward all volunteer coaches who attend a Photo Night!

All coaches will receive a free 5×7 “Coach Shot” with their child. You can also substitute this “Coach Shot” for an alternate 5×7 product: Individual 5×7 of your player, Team 5×7, or Buddy 5×7 of your player with their friend or sibling.

As the Head Coach, you will receive a complimentary wooden and engraved Coach Plaque complete with your team photo!

Be sure to have all members of your team at the photo night for your Team Photo!

Both Photo and Trophy Order Forms can be downloaded from nysonline.org. They are listed on your league area’s main page, any of the sports pages, or in the photo & trophy page.

We also provide extra order forms at the shoot. Please arrive early to fill out your order form before your scheduled time.

Yes, you are more than welcome to bring your own sporting equipment or prop for your photo.

We provide a variety of sporting equipment to the shoot for players to use in their photos. We will not have baseball bats available, however, only baseball gloves.

Left-handed players will need to bring their own baseball glove.

Baseball bats: Baseball bats are a safety issue. We will only allow players to pose with a baseball bat if they can control and hold the bat without swinging it. We don’t want our equipment or staff to be in harm’s way due to a player carelessly swinging a baseball bat. A baseball glove will be substituted if the player cannot hold the baseball bat properly.

No, a separate form needs to be completed for each player. You may pay for all the photos with one check, but each player needs their own order form. Please make note on your check’s memo line of each player and their team number the check is covering. Also write the check number on each of their photo order forms.

We are trying to make it common practice to have each player take an individual photo so we can have their photo on file. This is important for various reasons including identification purposes and future purchases with more product options.

Yes, your children may pose together. This is called a “Buddy Photo”. Please fill out the section on the order form to list the “Buddy” your child wishes to pose with.

Please note that posing with the coach is not considered a “Buddy Photo,” so coaches should not be listed in the Buddy Photo section. If you wish to have a photo with the Coach, then mark the “Coach” circle on the order form.

The Buddy doesn’t have to be on the same team or registered in the league.

Any order not marked for Buddy will use the individual photo that was taken. A new order will need to be made and purchased if you wished to have the Buddy picture instead.

No, some photo products are not designed for Buddy Shots and are identified on your order form. The “Individual Only” products include Photo Magnets, Magazine Covers, Trader Cards, Digital Copies and certain Season Specials, i.e. Calendars.

Please refer to the current photo order form to see what products allow for Buddy Shots.

No. Substitutions may not be made in packages. Photo packages cannot be customized.

Each parent pays for their own child’s photos by placing their payment inside the Photo order form envelope and sealing the envelope. Bring your Photo Order envelope and payment to your Photo Night.

If you printed an order form from online, then bring your completed form and payment to the Photo Night. We will have extra order forms available at the shoot, where will can adhere your printed form to the outside of the envelope and you can then place your payment inside and seal the envelope.

We accept cash, checks and Visa, MasterCard and Discover cards. Please make checks payable to AYS. No starter checks please. There is a $25 fee for any returned check. Please bring exact change, as change will NOT be available at the shoot.

Payment is due at your scheduled time at Photo Night.

No. The sitting fee is included in the product price.

No. Due to high volume and short turnaround time, photo proofs will not be available prior to receiving them.

Yes! You can call our office at 623-486-7480 or email us at AllYearSports@NYSonline.net with this request and we can give you a quote.

We have a couple of options for you.

First, we can email you a set of proofs of each photo we took at photo night for you to review. If you deem another photo to be better, then we will edit it, reprint your order and mail it out to you. Please include a mailing address when you respond with your preferred photo choice.

If you weren’t happy with the photo proofs we emailed, then you can attend the next available photo shoot in your area. Our photo events run seasonally, coinciding with the NYS playing season. If our photo season is over, then you will have to wait until the next NYS season to get your reshoot. Please bring your photo order and the jersey worn from the previous season to the reshoot. Whole teams will need to make an appointment. Individual retakes will not have to schedule an appointment and can instead stop by anytime, at any one of our available photo shoots for that season.

To discuss more options, please call our office at 623-486-7480 or email us at AllYearSports@NYSonline.net.

Because we schedule photo nights to accommodate the NYS playing season, our options are limited when it comes to makeup shoots.

If our photo season is over, then you may have to wait until the next NYS season to get your makeup shoot. Please bring the jersey that was worn from the previous season with your photo order.

Whole teams will need to make an appointment. Individual retakes will not have to schedule and can stop by anytime at any one of our available photo shoots for that season.

To discuss more options, please call our office at 623-486-7480 or email us at AllYearSports@NYSonline.net.

We ask that the whole team submit just one Team Trophy order form that identifies each player’s trophy style and engraving specifications. Although the order form is for the entire team, we do prefer to accept only one form of payment.

Ordinarily, the team will designate one representative to collect payment from the entire team, and then that representative will provide a single payment that equals the grand total of the order. Providing a single payment, instead of multiple payments from each parent, reduces the chance for mistakes when we process the order.

We take trophy orders online! Visit our online trophy ordering site!

If paying by check, make checks payable to AYS. No starter checks please. There is a $25 fee for any returned check. Mail your check and order to All Year Sports Trophy | 8550 N. 91st Avenue #49 | Peoria, AZ 85345.
