Established in 2002, the Inter Tribal Sports mission is to unify tribal youth and communities
through structured athletic programs while providing necessary resources and
developing a strong foundation in culture, leadership and wellness.
The organization features year-round youth sports and enrichment programs
designed specifically for southern California Native American communities.
Featured sports include basketball, flag football, softball, and soccer. All of
the league sports are co-ed, recreation, and non-contact sports. In addition to
sports leagues, ITS offers wellness programming, cultural gatherings, group
social outings and leadership activities. ITS provides athletic opportunities
and values education in conjunction with cultural, physical, mental, and
spiritual development.
ITS
furnishes youth and communities with occasions to build self esteem, respect,
acceptance, and sportsmanship through fun and positive activities, while
developing athletic skill and forming friendships, guided by appropriate role
models in a sound, structured program that is non-profit, volunteer-oriented,
and open to all tribal youth.
