The Valley Youth Conference has
been in existence since 1966. We are 100% volunteer with over 10,000 participants and
encompass the entire San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley,
with parts of Westside and Pasadena. We offer a full year-round
sport program, i.e., Basketball, Pop-Warner type Tackle
Football, Track, and Cheerleading, for boys and girls from the
ages of 5 through 14.The Valley Youth Conference for over 40
years has been voluntarily helping boys and girls , many of whom
are from single parent families - some from latch key homes - to
develop athletically, academically and socially. The Los Angeles
School Board and other area school boards have made this
possible by providing use of their athletic facilities.
We are a nonprofit volunteer
organization devoted to provide a safe, healthy environment for
the youth to develop in both athletics and citizenship. We
encourage scholastic achievement first and foremost, and have
awarded thousand of dollars in academic scholarships since 1966
to graduation senior boys and girls who had participated.
Additionally, since its inception the Conference has been
addressing the growing problem of obesity among today's youth.
Every level of the football program is structured by a
combination of maximum age and maximum weight, both of which are
strictly enforced.
Consequently, many thousands of young boys and girls have
benefited from the disciplined program that requires demanding
standards of behavior and academic grades to remain eligible for
team competition.
Further, countless youngsters trained by veteran coaches have
parlayed their advanced development into more proficient high
school athleticism which, in turn, enabled them to earn college
athletic scholarships at institutions that they might not
otherwise been able to afford.
The Valley Youth Conference develops and guides the youth of
today into the leaders of tomorrow in business and commerce.
Over the past forty years our members have grown-up, and
returned to the Valley Youth Conference as coaches to offer
other children the same benefit of a lifetime of rewarding
memories and friendships. Over 7,500 families annually
participate in all of our programs.
Over 50% of all the college/pro athletes in the U.S. come
from California, specifically, the San Fernando Valley area such
as USC football great and Heisman Trophy Winner Charles White,
NFL Houston Oilers Head Coach Jeff Fisher, and Olympic 400M Gold
Medal Winner Quincy Watts, to mention only a few. Therefore, our
program demonstrates that we must be doing something right.
Please support our children…
