Leprechaun Youth Sports was founded in 2002 by a group of families that were looking to create opportunities for kids to play youth sports. For the last 13 years LYS has participated in youth football at the YMCA in Norfolk. On average 130 kids have participated in the LYS/YMCA football league. This included families who supported our youth traveling to Norfolk for 6 Sundays each fall.
The LYS mission is to provide an opportunity for all youth athletes in the surrounding area to participate. LYS’s primary focus is community, family, and most importantly the development of our area youth.
The decision has been made that LYS will no longer participate in the YMCA youth football program. Currently LYS has 130+ area youth from 3rd – 6th grade signed up to play this fall. Due to the fantastic interest LYS is committed to organizing the youth football league. This includes but is not limited to, providing necessary equipment, organizing practices, coaches, facilities, scheduling, officials, venues, etc.
Benefits to consider are more localized practice and game schedules. This will allow more area youth to participate and more localized decisions concerning LYS football.
Initial costs are estimated at about $400/child. There are other financial obligations which include facilities, personnel, insurance, equipment, etc. We are looking to raise funds to help offset the cost of this opportunity.
We have identified you as a foundational business or person in our area. We have a limited time to raise the funds needed. LYS is actively fund raising towards our startup goal. Please consider helping support our local youth and families.
