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 simple: 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

How You Can Support SYSA

There are many ways you can help us make a lasting impact:

💻Donate to Our Financial Assistance Fund

Help Every Kid Play.

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.

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

All donations are processed securely online.

SYSA Capital Campaign

Why We Need Your Support

Facility Shortage:
As Spokane grows, so does the demand for youth sports. But our current field spaces are overbooked and outdated. We need new, quality facilities to keep up—and to continue offering programs to over 12,000 young athletes annually.

The Impact

  • New Fields = More Access: Greater capacity for programs and safe places to play.

  • Community Growth: Sports strengthen individuals and bring people together.
