Since 2009, LiFEsports, held at The Ohio State University, has grown to address the ever-changing needs of our community’s youth and the field of sport-based positive youth development (PYD).Through in-person and online Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) trainings and modules, they will reach at least 15,000 coaches from across Ohio with this initiative. In partnership with local school districts and the state regulatory body, they will an audit of current certification/licensure requirements, and then advocate to have the Ohio Pupil Activity Permit require completion of at least one of our online SEL modules. LiFEsports will partner with the Ohio High School Athletic Association and 7 school districts state-wide on this work.
To prepare youth for life and leadership through sport.
