About Us
A Place Where Young Athletes Grow in Body, Mind, and Spirit
Youth Sports of W-S was born from the belief that the lessons learned in athletics translate far beyond the field. Our foundation is built on a deep commitment to helping every child realize their full potential—not only as athletes but as individuals with purpose and passion. We integrate holistic training with personal mentorship, understanding that every young athlete is unique. Our experienced coaches and staff serve as both instructors and role models, creating a culture where discipline, respect, and unity are paramount. From community roots to competitive platforms, we aim to provide every youth with tools that will enrich them for life.


Our Impact
From First Steps to Lasting Success Stories
Our programs have touched hundreds of lives across Winston-Salem and beyond, equipping young athletes with the tools they need to succeed. From community clinics to championship teams, our impact is felt in every handshake, every lesson learned, and every milestone achieved. We’ve seen kids blossom into confident leaders, once-shy participants now leading huddles and mentoring others. Parents consistently tell us about the remarkable transformations they’ve witnessed—not only in performance but in focus, self-esteem, and emotional maturity. We’ve become more than a sports program—we’re a trusted partner in raising grounded, goal-driven children who carry these experiences for life.
Our Core Values
Built on Integrity, Driven by Heart
At the heart of Youth Sports of W-S are values that go beyond the game. We value Integrity, the foundation of trust and authenticity. Our athletes learn to play fair, speak truthfully, and respect the process. We embrace Resilience, teaching young people how to face setbacks with courage and determination. Empathy guides how we interact—with teammates, opponents, and ourselves. Discipline is practiced daily, on and off the field, reinforcing habits that serve a lifetime. Collaboration is our glue—athletes don’t succeed alone, and neither do we. Finally, we champion Leadership, because sports are preparation for life, and we aim to prepare leaders who uplift those around them.

Our Story
Where Passion Meets Purpose
Our story began with a single question: “What if every child had access to more than just a game?” Youth Sports of W-S was born from the deep conviction that youth development through sport could change lives. Founded by a group of coaches, educators, and community advocates, our organization grew out of the belief that every child—regardless of background—deserves the chance to grow strong in body, sharp in mind, and full of purpose. What started with a few passionate volunteers has blossomed into a multi-program, city-wide initiative impacting hundreds of families. Our work continues daily, fueled by the moments when a child discovers their voice, a team unites in victory, or a once-overlooked player finds their confidence.
