Council Memorandum: Youth Sports: Access & Excellence Task Force • Page 2 <br />Success depends on many partners including but not limited to sports clubs /leagues, city, school <br />districts, and our three universities and Riverside City College. And partnerships offer many new <br />possibilities for access and excellence. <br />The attached Report highlights many ideas. Under access, they include cost and funding <br />opportunities, increase parent involvement and volunteers, transportation, and local accessibility. <br />And for excellence, ideas are organized under youth exposure, civic engagement, and sports <br />education. <br />These ideas will be introduced to appropriate groups and organizations for review and possible <br />adoption. <br />A Mayor's Forum on Youth Sports: Access & Excellence will be appointed, and will meet on a <br />quarterly basis. It will consist of 30 or so representatives from Parks, Recreation & Community <br />Services; Sports Hall of Fame; City; Alvord Unified School District and Riverside Unified School <br />District; youth sports advocates /leaders; local sports coaches; and our three universities and RCC. It <br />will consider ideas in the Report and other ways to advance access and excellence and to <br />distinguish Riverside as the "Youth Sports Center of the Inland Empire." <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />None <br />Prepared by: <br />RONALD O.
