The mission of Glendale Youth Sports (GYS) is to foster the physical and moral development of the youth in our community through sports. Founded by the late Cecilia DeGuere in the early 1950’s, GYS is a non-profit run entirely by parent volunteers. Our program is designed to ensure that all children residing within the greater Glendale area are offered the opportunity to participate in an organized team sport.

As kids get older, they compete in the SAY Soccer League, Cincinnati Premier Youth Basketball League (CYBPL) and Cincinnati Knothole Baseball.

Kevin Carroll (GYS Soccer Coordinator) – “I have lived in Glendale since 2011 and in the Princeton District since 2001. My wife Martha and I have two children, Kate and Maggie, who attend Glendale Elementary School. I have been a Board member of the Glendale Elementary PTA since 2021, the same year I took over as the Volunteer Soccer Coordinator for Glendale Youth Sports. I’m proud to have seen our soccer program grow from just a couple of teams coming out of the pandemic to 8 teams, currently serving kids from 3-12 years old. My favorite memory is coaching the U8 Girls in 2023.”

My wife and I have four boys to attend Princeton City Schools, and through their participation in GYS, we’ve seen the value our programs offer in helping kids stay active, work as a team, and stay connected to the community.”
