Dear Izell,
Congratulations! You have successfully fulfilled the requirements of the NAYS Academy for Youth Sports Administrators and earned the Certified Youth Sports Administrator (CYSA) credential!
Your CYSA cycle extends for a two-year period starting today. During this entire cycle, you maintain continuous access to your CYSA Profile Area of the Online Academy so LOGIN now to see your CYSA Profile page. Your CYSA Profile Area provides access to a variety of important resources including continued access to review any of the Online Academy sections, additional trainings/resources and details about maintaining your CYSA after the initial two-year certification period.
You are now part of a unique group of professionals who are focused on providing safe, positive and fun youth sports experiences for the kids in their communities. Since there are more than 4,800 CYSAs, if you ever have an issue, question or just want some input on a topic - you are now part of an incredible network that will be able to assist! Please consider joining our closed group on Facebook, where CYSAs can chat, ask questions, help others and stay connected. Just search "CYSA Group" on Facebook and request to be added now!
You have personally taken a step to demonstrate your leadership role so be sure to share the information you have learned with other youth sports providers. Please consider applying for the Better Sports for Kids Quality Program Provider designation - it's another positive way to set your programs apart from the rest!
Next, you are invited to join us for our annual gathering of CYSAs at the NAYS Youth Sports Congress held each year in conjunction with the Athletic Business Show!
This comprehensive educational experience is specifically designed to meet the needs of CYSAs and is the best way to earn the 10 hours of continuing education/professional development (some refer to this as CEUs) in the field of youth sports administration to extend your CYSA for another two-year period at a special CYSA registration rate!
Be sure to LOGIN to familiarize yourself with the requirements to maintain and extend your CYSA credential and to review all of the additional resources available.
Please also note that this certification is yours - so be sure to LOGIN to update your contact information at any time if anything changes.
Finally, you will be receiving your original CYSA certificate and a polo-styled CYSA shirt in the mail in the next 4-6 weeks.
If you have questions about your CYSA credential or anything related to NAYS, please email us at any time.
Thank you for becoming a CYSA - one of the highest qualified youth sports professionals in the field!
