About Youth Sports Flash The Only Youth Sports Flash Publication In Nevada

Youth Sports Flash focuses on highlighting the involvement of young players with large photos and professional sports reporting mentioning many player names. Youth Sports News strives to recognize as many athletes as possible for their contribution to their chosen sports and generate excitement and encouragement.

Mission

Youth Sports Flash pledges to create a high-quality, professional, youth sports-oriented newspaper designed to inspire athletic achievement, foster a passion for teamwork, and provide positive recognition for youth while creating successful exposure for our advertising partners.

Background

Youth Sports Flash will be a free bi-weekly sports newspaper dedicated to covering youth athletic events in the Las Vegas Valley. Many of these events have not traditionally been included in daily newspaper sports sections, and therefore up to now the young men and women who participate in them have not received the recognition they deserve for their achievements. Instead of just covering the “big games,” Youth Sports News will extend its coverage to as many activities as possible to provide needed encouragement to all dedicated young athletes – not just varsity lettermen. Among the sports planned for coverage in Youth Sports Flash are:

Youth Football League
Nevada NFL
National Junior Basketball League
Silver State Girls Soccer
Junior Varsity and “B” League High School Sports
American Youth Soccer Organization
Little League Baseball
American Legion Baseball
Nevada Girls Fast-Pitch Softball League
Martial Arts
Gymnastics
Swimming
Boxing
Skateboarding
BMX Racing
Mountain Biking

While this list is not all-encompassing, it provides an idea of the range of sports that Youth Sports News plans to cover. The Nevada Interscholastic Athletic Association, the governing body of High School sports in Nevada, has extended credentials to Youth Sports Flash as a member of the working press.

Youth Sports Flash is designed to be similar in nature successful community-oriented sports sections which have become part of many neighborhood newspapers. These special sections are eagerly awaited every week by parents and young athletes who enjoy seeing their names and achievements in print with large photos and professional-quality writing. Every week clippings from these special sections find their way into family scrapbooks and are sent to family and friends around the nation. Youth Sports Flash will provide this same spirit of athletic pride for the youth of the Las Vegas Valley.
