OUR MISSION

Our mission, and that of the programs under the direction of Skylands Sports Club, is to develop and maintain a high quality of recreational activities for the youth of the Skylands region of Northern NJ; promote the benefits of teamwork and physical conditioning; teach the basic fundamental skills involved in various team sports; and emphasize the importance of good sportsmanship and fair play.

SSC will provide assistance and advice in the establishment of recreation programs in the community, insure high standards of judgment and conduct of all adults involved in the programs in the roles of coach, referee, umpire, league official and active member, promote the involvement of community volunteers in recreational activities and functions and provide the highest degree of safety and protection to participants through appropriate equipment, responsible supervision, and competent instruction and training.

WHAT WE OFFER

Skylands Sports Club is a non-profit organization that offers support to local youth sports programs to help them to manage, maintain and/or grow their current programs. In addition to providing management to current organizations SSC will also assist start up organizations to get their programs off the ground. Our experience over the years of running recreation groups is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find volunteers that are willing to put in the hours to effectively and efficiently run a program. SSC will evaluate and make recommendations to your organization leaders ways that we can improve your program. Once contracted, SSC will take charge of the day to day operations of your program, oversee the financial management of accounts including filing all necessary tax and informational returns, coordinate registration periods, create practice and game schedules, collaborate with local school athletic directors and coaches as well as other local sports groups to develop and coordinate programs, coordinate and administer background check processes for coaches and other volunteers, keep current with local and national rules pertaining to each sport, and coordinate clinics and tournaments.
