Can all my children play on the same team?

Special requests must be made at time of registration and are not guaranteed. Usually if children are in the same age group and in the same family the children will be placed on the same team. Please note on registration forms if you would like the children on separate teams. For children who are not in the same age group you will need to fill out an age waiver and attend skills assessments.

Can I request for my child to be on a certain team or with a friend/coworkers child?

Special requests must be made at time of registration and are not guaranteed.

Can I request to move my child into an older age group?

Yes.

Kings Bay Youth Sports recognizes that there may be a number of factors, including but not limited to, ability, size, maturity level, and playing experience that may warrant a child’s ability to play up into the next age group.

To move into an older age group a child must go through a skills assessment prior to being allowed to move up. Player must attend both their appropriate age group assessment and the assessment age group the player is requesting to move into. Coaches from the older age group must agree that the child is ready to move up, and the Youth Sports Coordinator must approve the request. Taken into account will be the child’s ability; age; maturity level. There is no guarantee when you register that the child will be moved in to the older age bracket.

Age waivers must be submitted each season. They do not automatically renew.

What is PAYS? Why do parents have to do training?

The Parents Association for Youth Sports (PAYS) program is mandatory training for parents who have children active in Navy YSF sports programs. This brief training provides parents with awareness of their roles and responsibilities in supporting their child’s sports experience, and the training outlines standards of behavior for parents that encourage them to take active and positive roles in their youth’s sport activity. Additionally, PAYS helps to understand Navy YSF mission and goals and how they can support their child’s coaches.

One parent from each child’s family must complete the PAYS training program in order for the child to participate in a Navy YSF sport. If a family has multiple children involved in the YSF program or one child involved is involved in more than one sport, the parent must complete the PAYS program once.

What is the Directory of Opportunities?

The Directory of Opportunities is an online resource developed for parents, teens and youth to access information about the available sports, fitness, health and nutrition, and recreation opportunities on base and in the communities surrounding each installation for youth and teens ages 5 to 18 of all abilities.

When will my child practice? When are games?

Why does my child have to attend skills assessments?

Skills assessments must be performed prior to the start of  season for older age groups to ensure proper grouping and selection procedures to create fair and equitable teams.

Why doesn't my child's league keep score or play in tournaments?

In order for everyone involved in YSF activities to have productive experiences and gain positive life skills, Navy YSF Programs are required to organize offerings into age-appropriate categories. The goal of Navy YSF programming is participation, not winning. Instructional and Developmental programs (usually children ages 8 and below) are not allowed to keep scores or standings. Furthermore, children in Organizational programs (usually children ages 10 and below) are not allowed to participate in travel teams or post-season tournaments. For more information and rules please go to https://www.navygetfit.com to review the Navy Youth Sports and Fitness Operating Manual.
