CYS  Volunteers

Parent volunteers are a very important resource for CYS. Registered children/youth benefit immensely from the knowledge and skill that volunteers provide to our programs. We're looking for enthusiastic people who want to help out — sharing their talents assisting and leading various activities such as reading to children, participating in field trips, making games, repairing toys, sewing with kids, etc.

Start by becoming a registered volunteer through Army Community Service's (ACS) Go-Volunteer to find out where your talents can be best used within CYS. By keeping track of your volunteer hours, you can qualify for Parent Participation Points.

Volunteer Coaching

Did you play sports in high school or college? Have you always wanted to coach football, soccer or basketball? Are you a cheerleader at heart? Even if you have never played or coached a sport before, you can still become a certified volunteer coach! CYS Volunteer Coaches encourage all children to explore the world of sports, learn the fundamentals of good sportsmanship and have fun at the same time. 

Contact CYS Sports and Fitness to begin.

CYS Flag Football

Youth will develop and build fundamental skills such as running, receiving, passing, and defending. The best, and most important rule is there’s no contact allowed. Instead of tackling, players wear flags that hang by a belt. Once a ball carriers’ flag is removed, play stops and the ball is marked down. Each session will end with a scrimmage game. Held in Clinton Twp. Register by September 18th

CYS Cheerleading

Coached by Diamond Battle, who has cheered for the Nashville Predators Energy Team and currently cheers for the Detroit Red Wings Red Patrol and the Detroit Tigers Rally Cats! Cheerleading is a fun, inclusive sport that helps youth of all ages learn the importance of support, sportsmanship, staying active, develop confidence, and teamwork. Youth will develop new skills such as jumping, light tumbling, and stunts, while also building fundamental skills such as proper cheer hand motions. Each session will end with the youth performing the cheer they’ve learned for the day during our youth flag football scrimmages held after each practice. 6-10 years Held in Clinton Twp
