Support SYSA
Empowering Youth Through Sports
Since 1966, Spokane Youth Sports Association (SYSA) has been enriching the lives of young people through accessible and inclusive sports programs. As a nonprofit organization, we’re dedicated to creating a positive space where all kids—regardless of background or ability—can grow through play.
Organized sports are more than games. They build confidence, teamwork, leadership, and lifelong friendships. At SYSA, every child gets the chance to play, learn, and thrive.
Our Mission
We believe every child deserves the chance to play.
Our mission is to provide youth sports programs that prioritize participation, development, sportsmanship, and teamwork.
We’re committed to:
– Ensuring every child plays
– Fostering a culture of inclusion and diversity
– Removing financial and social barriers to participation
– Creating a supportive environment where young athletes can grow
Ways You Can Support SYSA:
Support the SYSA Capital Campaign – “If You Build It, They Will Come”
Spokane is growing—and so is the demand for youth sports—but there just aren’t enough fields, which is why your support matters. Our current spaces are overcrowded and outdated, making it harder to serve the 12,000+ young athletes who play with SYSA each year. By building new, high-quality fields, we can give kids more access to programs, safe places to play, and opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive—while strengthening our community through the power of sports.

Donate to Our Financial Assistance Fund
Your donation directly supports SYSA’s Financial Assistance Fund, which provides scholarships for families who need help covering the cost of registration and gear. Many children in our community are eager to join a team—but can’t due to financial barriers. With your support, we can say yes to every child, regardless of their ability to pay. All donations are processed securely online.
Your gift will:
– Cover registration fees for families in need
– Provide essential equipment for young athletes
– Ensure every kid gets a chance to play, learn, and grow through sports
