FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Katrina L. Piercy, Ph.D., R.D., Office
of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP), Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS); 1101 Wootton Parkway, Suite 420; Rockville, MD
20852; Telephone: (240) 276-9578. Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c5b6b5aab7b1b685adadb6eba2aab3"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0172716e737572416969722f666e77">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: On behalf of the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS), ODPHP leads the development and
implementation of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and
the National Youth Sports Strategy and manages the PCSFN. The PCSFN is
the only federal advisory committee focused solely on the promotion of
physical activity, fitness, sports, and nutrition.
HHS released the NYSS in September 2019 in response to Executive
Order 13824. ODPHP led the development of the NYSS, in collaboration
with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National
Institutes of Health, and with recommendations from the PCSFN. The NYSS
aims to unite U.S. youth sports culture around a shared vision: that
one day, all youth will have the opportunity, motivation, and access to
play sports. The NYSS specifically outlines steps for everyone to take
action and help improve the youth sports landscape in the United
States. A framework for understanding youth sports participation
highlights opportunities and action items for youth, adults,
organizations, communities, and public agencies (<a href="https://health.gov/sites/default/files/2019-10/NYSS_ExecutiveSummary.pdf">https://health.gov/sites/default/files/2019-10/NYSS_ExecutiveSummary.pdf</a>). NYSS Champion
organizations are working toward the NYSS vision and are promoting and
supporting youth sports, particularly in underserved populations.
Requirements of Interested Organizations: ODPHP invites
organizations that support youth sports and that demonstrate efforts
toward improving the youth sports landscape in the United States to
apply online to become an NYSS Champion. The online application is
available at: <a href="https://health.gov/our-work/nutrition-physical-activity/national-youth-sports-strategy/nyss-champions/become-nyss-champion">https://health.gov/our-work/nutrition-physical-activity/national-youth-sports-strategy/nyss-champions/become-nyss-champion</a>.
Participating organizations will sign a Partnership Agreement and
Trademark License (Agreement) to outline the terms and parameters of
their support for the NYSS. Organizations with an active Agreement will
be granted use of the digital NYSS Champion badge as long as the
organization continues to work in alignment with the NYSS. Use of the
NYSS Champion badge does not imply any federal endorsement of the
collaborating organization's general policies, activities, or products.
Eligibility for Interested Organizations: To be eligible to become
an NYSS Champion, an organization shall: (1) have a demonstrated
interest in, understanding of, and experience with supporting youth
sports; (2) have an organizational or corporate mission that is aligned
with the NYSS vision; and (3) agree to sign an Agreement with ODPHP,
which will set forth the details of how the organization is supporting
the vision of the NYSS.
Application Requirements: Organizations may apply to be an NYSS
Champion. Organizations should complete a NYSS Champion application
located at: <a href="https://health.gov/our-work/nutrition-physical-activity/national-youth-sports-strategy/nyss-champions/become-nyss-champion">https://health.gov/our-work/nutrition-physical-activity/national-youth-sports-strategy/nyss-champions/become-nyss-champion</a> and
describe in their application their support of the NYSS vision that one
day, all youth will have the opportunity, motivation, and access to
play sports. Each NYSS Champion application shall contain:
(1) organization name, location, website, and submitter's contact
information;
(2) a brief description of the organization's mission and/or
values; and
(3) a description of how the organization supports or plans to
support the NYSS vision, such as prioritizing underserved populations,
donating funds or equipment, or alignment with specific opportunities
and action items outlined in the NYSS (<a href="https://health.gov/sites/default/files/2019-10/NYSS_ExecutiveSummary.pdf">https://health.gov/sites/default/files/2019-10/NYSS_ExecutiveSummary.pdf</a>).
Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance as an
NYSS Champion. ODPHP will review and evaluate applications for
alignment with the NYSS vision.
Paul Reed,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health, Office of Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion.
