We Love Our Kids

From the first high-five at practice to the last play under the lights, Bryant Youth Association brings kids together through sports, friendship, and fun. You'll see the energy of game days, the encouragement from coaches, and the smiles that come from learning and growing as a team. It’s a place where families connect, confidence builds, and memories are made all season long.

Meet Champ

Long ago, in the warm, welcoming woods near Bryant, a small bear cub named Champ took his first steps through the doors of Bryant Youth Association. Nervous but excited, Champ didn’t know what to expect — he just knew he wanted to play, learn, and grow. From his very first color wars game to his first much needed chat with his mentor, Champ discovered something special about BYA: he wasn’t alone.

A Place to Become:

Think back to when you were little, what was your dream? Did it come true? Who helped you get there? A special teacher? A mentor? A friend?

Bryant Youth Association is a place to become. To become our future doctors, teachers, lawyers, meteorologists & maybe even the future president of the United States.

Each year, we serve 3,000 local children from Saline County & surrounding areas. Our programming is carefully structured to provide programs & activities that promote success in our three priority outcomes:

Academic Success

These programs are designed to ensure that all club members graduate from high school on time, ready for a post-secondary education & a 21st-century career.

Good Character

These programs help youth become responsible, caring citizens & acquire skills to participate the democratic process. Program participants also develop leadership skills & gain opportunities for planning, decision-making, contributing to club & community & celebrating our national heritage.

Healthy Lifestyles

These programs develop young people’s capacity to engage in positive behaviors to nurture their well-being, set personal goals & grow into self-sufficient adults.

Mission Statement

To ensure every child has a mentor and champion in life.
