Introduction
The Sports Program On-line Reporting and Tracking System (SPORTS) for 2007 has been
enhanced to incorporate recommendations made by program personnel from 2001 through
2006. The National Youth Sports Corporation (NYSC) remains committed to assisting projects in
the National Youth Sports Program (NYSP) by providing a user-friendly mechanism for recording
the data required for compliance with the NYSP Guidelines. The system is designed to minimize
the time required for data entry and to reduce redundancy.
