RCX Sports Recognized as a NYSS Champion to Promote Participation in Youth Sports

(Atlanta, GA) – RCX Sports today announced it has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as a National Youth Sports Strategy (NYSS) Champion. 

As a NYSS Champion, RCX Sports has demonstrated a commitment to support safe, fun, inclusive, developmentally appropriate, and accessible youth sports opportunities. RCX Sports is recognized along with other NYSS Champions on health.gov as part of a growing network of organizations partnering with HHS to improve the youth sports landscape in America. 

“At RCX Sports, we are dedicated to making sports accessible to all, creating opportunities for youth to experience the joy and lifelong benefits of sports,” said Izell Reese, CEO of RCX Sports. “Being recognized as a NYSS Champion is a testament to our unwavering commitment to empowering young athletes and fostering inclusive, safe, and engaging sports experiences. We are proud to join HHS in this shared mission to inspire the next generation to stay active, healthy, and passionate about sports.”

“We know children who obtain regular physical activity gain important physical and mental health benefits, which are more important than ever considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,” explains Rear Adm. Paul Reed, M.D., deputy assistant secretary for health at HHS. “I’m thrilled to acknowledge the work of the NYSS Champions who are helping to foster a lifelong love of sports and physical activity for our Nation’s youth.” 

The NYSS is a federal roadmap with actionable strategies for youth, adults who interact with youth, organizations, communities, and public policy makers to increase participation in youth sports and improve the youth sports experience. The NYSS vision is that one day all youth will have the opportunity, motivation, and access to play sports. NYSS Champions are recognized for working towards achieving this vision.
