CYClers is a youth-led sports program overseen by an advisory committee comprised of youth representatives from each sport to centralize and effectively coordinate the sport teams. The name CYClers is derived from CYC and symbolizes regeneration through leadership training to the underserved youth population for generations to come. The committee promotes sportsmanship, teamwork and healthy lifestyles through the program to Asian youth in the community. CYClers meets on a regular basis and makes decisions on program planning and implementation. Youth also partake in fundraising, community service and recruitment strategies to encourage Asian youth to participate in sports activities such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, martial arts, hip hop and dragon boat as alternatives to violence, drugs, truancy, and gang activities.
