Founded to foster the development of sports teams in Park City following the 2002 Olympic Games, the Youth Sports Alliance later broadened its mission to add youth after-school programming which serves as a pathway to winter sports clubs and competition and established the Stein Eriksen YSA Opportunity Endowment, a $2 million need-based scholarship endowment.

Your Support Changes Lives

Annually, YSA organizes JANS Winter Welcome, the preeminent black-tie fundraising event held in Park City. The event raises more than $250,000 to financially support YSA’s seven competitive sport teams.

Additionally, Stein Eriksen YSA Opportunity Endowment provides more than $115,000 in need-based scholarships each year to athletes to defray coaching, travel and equipment costs.

Teams and the YSA collaborate on media and additional funding opportunities.
All YSA memeber teams meet specific criteria including coach and business licensing, adherence to National Governing Body rules, maintaining healthy financial procedures and more.
