About CVYA

Why CVYA exists

Central Vermont Youth Athletics was created around a simple belief: where a young athlete grows up shouldn’t determine how far they can go.

Young athletes playing soccer, baseball, basketball, tennis, hockey, lacrosse, track and volleyball

Our mission

Creating opportunities for Central Vermont youth to challenge themselves, grow through sports, and reach their potential.

The challenge

Youth sports open doors to competition, confidence, teamwork, leadership, and personal growth. But higher-level opportunities often come with higher costs. Travel, tournament fees, equipment, uniforms, and training can quickly become barriers for families and teams.

Our role

CVYA exists to help overcome those barriers. Through fundraising, sponsorships, financial assistance, volunteer support, and community partnerships, we work to make meaningful athletic opportunities more accessible.

Our approach

Building athletes, character, and community.

Athletic Opportunities

Meaningful competitive experiences beyond the normal season.

Reducing Barriers

Community support for opportunities that might be out of reach.

Building Character

Teamwork, accountability, resilience, and leadership.

Growing Locally

Sustainable support for more teams and sports in the region.

Our vision

A Central Vermont community where young athletes have meaningful opportunities to challenge themselves, compete, grow, and reach their potential, regardless of the barriers that might otherwise stand in their way.
