Two decades of community sports leadership
For over twenty years, I've had the privilege of serving Idyllwild and its vibrant communities through impactful recreation and sports programs. My experience includes launching successful, ongoing initiatives such as Adult Basketball, Youth Soccer, Pickleball, Adult Volleyball, Kindergarten After-School, Fit After Fifty, alongside expanding the Youth Basketball program. This rich history fuels my passion to bring a much-needed, brand-new recreation and sports program to the hill, specifically designed to foster physical health, motor skill development, and mental well-being, especially for homeschool students. We're building on a legacy of success.
Uniquely designed for every child
Idyllwild Youth Sports fills a crucial gap by offering recreation activities and sports specifically tailored for homeschool students – a demographic currently underserved in our area. Our program is conveniently centralized for all hill communities including Idyllwild, Mountain Center, Garner Valley, Aguanga, and Hemet. We proudly provide a wide variety of engaging activities and sports for ages 5 to 17. We believe in equal opportunities, ensuring all students, including homeschoolers, have access to high-quality recreation and sports that promote physical activity and personal growth.
More than just a game
Beyond the thrill of competition, Idyllwild Youth Sports focuses on holistic child development. Our ultimate goal is for kids to have fun while exercising and engaging in vital socialization. We are committed to teaching the value of teamwork and encouraging healthy habits that will last a lifetime. Participating in our programs also significantly reduces device and screen time, addressing a growing concern among youth. Research consistently shows that physical activity and social interaction lead to dramatic improvements in academic performance and overall personal growth. Join us to build confident, healthy, and connected young individuals.
