The Lakeland Youth Sport Science Institute (LYSSI)
mission is to engender in young people an appreciation
of the benefits of improving physical fitness
and athletic performance within the context
of a regular structured exercise program. The
LYSSI is dedicated to introducing young people
to the most advanced modalities and methods
of physical training and assessment, and to
helping them cultivate their athletic potential.
The LYSSI intends to pursue the mission by focusing
on the following goals:
Provide a proper and safe physical training
environment for the youth of our community.
Strive
to enhance the emotional, physical, social
and educational well-being of the youth
of our community.
Seek the advice and support
of the many outstanding youth sport managers
and coaches,
both from our
region and beyond, regarding how best to
meet the athletic development needs of
the youth of
our community.
Assure that basic levels
of motor development and balance are introduced
at each level
of physical training undertaken.
Encourage
parents to take an active role in the sport
experiences of their
child and
the
many fine competitive community sporting
leagues.
Adequately and effectively
communicate to our staff and youth participants
the latest scientific
methods of physical development.
Insist
upon equal opportunity in sport for motivated
young
people.
