In poor communities around the world, youth and children sit on the bench waiting for an opportunity to knock out poverty. Our Game On! Youth SportsTM program, developed by the International Alliance Youth Sports (IAYS), is an essential outdoor, action-packed classroom that puts impoverished children in the game to win in life.
Game On! – a network of organized sports leagues – teaches life's rules through positive skills building. It offers training in teamwork, goal setting, responsibility and conflict resolution.

Becoming a team-player doesn't have to mean breaking a sweat, but it can. In communities this program serves, coaches are parents, teachers and youth volunteers who undergo training to encourage community participation. And sometimes even the pros get involved.

So far, hundreds of youth around the world are enjoying their opportunity to actively learn from sports. Participating twice weekly for practice and competing in friendly tournaments on weekends allow impoverished children to escape their crime-riddled neighborhoods to have fun and stay active on the Game On! playing fields.
