WELCOME TO BLAINE YOUTH SPORTS
Blaine Youth Sports is a non-profit organization that began in 2018 with the purpose of providing youth sports opportunities to grades K-8.
Our current programs offered include football, volleyball, cheer, basketball and wrestling. Blaine Youth Sports has no affiliation with the Blaine School District.
Prior to the creation of BYS, there was no consistent youth sports program in Blaine for kids younger than middle school and we relied on the Boys & Girls club for youth sports. As evident by school districts like Lynden and Meridian, youth sports programs are the foundation of success at the high school level. That has always been the goal of BYS. Develop our youth at a young age so they can succeed at the high school level.
Thank you to Blaine-Birch Bay Parks & Rec!

What will the 2022 Team Volleyball Season look like?

- Games will follow in early September. Games are on week nights for 7 successive weeks.
- A team shirt and knee pads are included in the entry fee. You will need to supply your own athletic shoes and black shorts.
Schedules and practice times are dependent on Blaine School District gym availability. If school gym facilities are not available due to COVID the season will be cancelled.

Coaching Perk! We can't run a successful program without committed and dedicated coaches. If you coach a football team this season, and are present for more than 90% percent of practices and games, your child will play for free. Refund will come at the end of the season.
