About
Backyard Sports Cares Programs include specific activities such as Friday Night Tennis, MVP Soccer Camp, and community team sports programs. These programs are part of the non profit division of Backyard Sports and are a leading provider of community team sports programs for kids of all ages in Westchester County. The programs serve as a bridge to neighborhoods and participants from various demographics and cultures, with a focus on underserved and special needs children.
Backyard Sports Cares was established in 2005 as the registered not-for-profit division of Backyard Sports. Its mission states that Backyard Sports is committed to replacing today’s “win at all costs” mentality of youth sports with an approach that promotes increased self confidence and a lifetime love of sports while maximizing the athletic potential of each participant, and that Backyard Sports Cares was created to bring these ideals to children who have limited access to traditional youth sports programs, including children with special needs. Backyard Sports Cares offers community partnership opportunities and volunteer opportunities, and collaboration with school districts, after school programs, and local youth bureaus has been a key ingredient in its community outreach programming. Through these collaborative partnerships, Backyard Sports Cares offers sports programming that builds skill development, builds long lasting relationships, and teaches life lessons that will help underserved and special needs children build a better future for themselves and for the community. The leadership team includes Steve Tseckares.
Parent testimonials describe individual experiences with the programs. One parent, Kishma Baljoe, states, “Since my child started this program, I've seen great changes. He plays better with friends, he is more patient, he's more focused and his grades have improved tremendously.” Another parent, Sara Cremins, states, “My son Jake has participated in all of the Backyard Sports Plus programs. He has never been able to previously function in other sports environments. Here he looks forward to coming and walks away feeling successful. He’s proud to tell his friends that he plays on a basketball team. I am happy to see him proud.”
