Philosophy and Values Agreement

Today’s youth are the caretakers of the future. They represent their team, locality, state, and national program. Therefore, it is important that young adults and their families be exposed to and develop an understanding of responsibility to the outdoors. USAYESS provides events that showcase the safety of equipment, and outdoor activities in a fun-filled atmosphere. USAYESS will ensure the transformation and educational potential of student-athletes with opportunities to practice and compete on a level playing field, and we are committed that those athletic opportunities involve new skills, developing individual goals, planning, potential, and fostering an appreciation of collaboration and teamwork in the competitive arena of athletics. Our member athletes are students first, and foremost.

The well-being of our student-athletes is first and foremost. USAYESS strives to develop programs and events that encourage boys and girls to develop camaraderie, practice habits of mind and body that encourage healthy living, and learn valuable life lessons. Every member will strive for excellence in all programs and events; however, we recognize that an excessive emphasis on winning can corrupt true learning and academic values. USAYESS believes that both victory and defeat teach valuable life lessons.

Athletes are students first and athletes second. We hope that athletic competition fosters respect for others, sportsmanship, competition, teamwork, perseverance, and leadership. The priority of our program is to develop educated young men and women of character who are transformed by their experience in athletic competition and then transfer lessons they learned on the athletic fields to lives of service to others and the country. USAYESS expects all its members to stand for the national Anthem as a sign of honoring, respecting, and expressing gratitude towards all service personnel. Failure to do so may result in expulsion from the program without further notice.
