Central Ohio Youth Sports Collaborative

Great coaches don't just happen—they're developed!

This past week, the Central Ohio Youth Sports Collaborative brought together youth sport organizations from across the region to share ideas, learn from one another, and explore new strategies for coach education.

A huge thank you to Girls on the Run of Central Ohio, OSULifesports, and the Government Resource Center for sharing tools, resources, and real-world insights that can help organizations better support and develop their coaches.

Together, we're building a stronger youth sports community where every coach is equipped to create positive, safe, and meaningful experiences for young athletes. Thanks to everyone who joined the conversation—we can't wait to continue learning and growing together! hashtag hashtag hashtag
