Youth Sports For All FAQ

How much does it cost for my child to register? Nothing, our program is free to all participants, including necessary equipment!

Where are the activities held? It depends on the program, but most take place at The Fields at RFK and around Capitol Hill.

Do my children need any experience to participate in the program? Nope! Most programs are suited to train children of all skill levels, so beginners are always welcome!

Do I need to submit any paperwork, like proof of income? At this time, we do not require paperwork for eligibility.

Do you have to live in DC to be eligible for the program? No. Although our focus is youth in Wards 5, 6, 7, and 8, we do not turn away any family who expresses interest.

How do I know if practice or camp is canceled? CRYSP’s team is not notified when there is a cancellation or rescheduling of practice or camp. Parents will need to contact the organization or coach running the practice/camp directly for updates.

My child was registered, but can’t attend this season, how do I cancel their registration? Please notify our program manager, Monica at ysfa@cryspdc.org if you need to cancel your child’s seasonal registration. If your child can’t make it to a specific game or practice, please contact the organization running the activity directly.

Can my child be enrolled in more than one program? CRYSP staff will do our best to get children enrolled into multiple programs as long as scholarships are available. We will register every child who expressed interest into one program to begin with, and then connect with parents again if additional programs are available.

Can I register more than one child and can they all attend the same program? Yes, any of your children between grades K-8 may be registered, but we cannot guarantee they will be registered into the same program. If you would like to have a cousin or friend enrolled with your child, they must be enrolled into the program by their parent or legal guardian.

Is lunch and/or transportation included? As of right now, lunch and transportation are not included in our program. All participants are responsible for their own food and must have timely transportation to and from all games, practices, and camps.

Does your program run in the winter season? Not yet, but maybe one day…stay tuned!

Can I change weeks or programs if something else I like becomes available? No. In order for us to register everyone in a timely manner and due to scholarships being limited, we ask that you commit to the program we register your child in. CRYSP staff will do our best to get children enrolled into additional programs as long as scholarships are available.

I would like to enroll my child into a program not listed on your site as a partner, can you get them enrolled? We will try our best to contact the organization of interest and register your child, but we cannot guarantee registration. If you have suggestions on sports or organizations you would like to see added, please fill out our survey!
