Welcome to Hermitage Youth Sports Program

Our Philosophy

​

Hermitage Youth Sports Programs youth sports are based on the concept that fair play is the very essence of competition.  Everybody should have an equal opportunity to compete and a fair chance to participate.

​

Fair play implies respect for oneself, one’s opponent and others involved in conducting the competition.  Players, coaches, officials, and spectators share a responsibility for fair play.  Fair play sets the child above the game.  The HYSP believes that its youth sports programs provide an excellent environment for developing strong character, mind, and body.  As these virtues grow, they will influence behavior in everyday life.

​

The HYSP also believes that its youth sports program will help teams and individuals to grow personally, clarify values, improve relationships, appreciate diversity, develop leadership skills and have fun.  It is for the development of such virtues that the HYSP promotes its youth sports programs.
