👟🍂 IDAHO, WE'RE ON TOUR! 🍂👟
The Idaho Youth Sports Commission is hitting the road with our Sneakers for Kids program, bringing new shoes, big smiles, and a whole lot of heart to communities across Idaho! 💙

From Boise to Idaho Falls, McCall to Burley, and everywhere in between, we're on a mission to make sure more Idaho kids have the shoes they need to stay active, build confidence, and keep doing what they love.

Every pair of sneakers represents more than just shoes. It's an opportunity for a child to participate, belong, and thrive through sports.
But we can't do it without YOU! ❤️

Your support helps us reach more communities and put more sneakers on the feet of Idaho kids. Whether you donate, volunteer, or simply share our mission, you're helping us make a difference, one pair at a time!

👟 Follow along as we travel across our beautiful state
!
💙 Together, we can keep kids in the game!

Sneakers for Kids, a program through the Idaho Youth Sports Commission, provides high-quality shoes to kids in need. The Emmett School District was able to partner with Sneakers for Kids to provide 100 pairs of new shoes for local students.

A new pair of shoes may seem like a simple thing, but for a child, it can mean comfort, confidence, the ability to participate, and the excitement of having something they are proud to wear.

To every person, business, and foundation that champions sneakers for kids, THANK YOU!! 💙

More than just a sports camp. 💥
If you swipe the photos, you will notice smiles, laughter, and yes… a pogo stick.
Plummer Challenge is unique. We love it’s free for families, but we love most the objective: it’s a multi skills sports experience built to help kids discover and develop a variety of skills, all while having a blast.

We aren’t boxing not boxing kids into one sport. We are letting them create, explore, play, and make a buddy or two along the way.
, , Happy kids.

What an incredible day at the Plummer Skills & Thrills Challenge!

The Idaho Youth Sports Commission is proud to have once again brought together young athletes, coaches, volunteers, and community partners for a day dedicated to learning, growing, and having fun while trying out many new sports.

Seeing so many kids smiling, building confidence, and developing new skills is exactly why we do what we do. These moments remind us of the power of youth sports to create opportunities, foster friendships, and inspire the next generation.

A heartfelt thank you to every volunteer, coach, sponsor, and supporter who gave their time and energy to make this event such a success. Your commitment helps us continue our mission of ensuring every child has the chance to play, grow, and thrive.

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of Idaho's youth—we can't wait to see everyone back on the field next year! ❤️⚾️
