Sideline Connections™
Strengthening the People Side of Youth Sports
At Chase Youth Programs, we believe access matters—and every child deserves the chance to thrive. Through our partnership with Sideline Connections™, students, coaches, and families gain tools that strengthen confidence, communication, and connection—on the court, in the classroom, and in life.
Sideline Connections™ focuses on the people behind the program, helping young people feel supported, understood, and empowered while preserving the joy that makes sports and learning meaningful.
What Is Sideline Connections™?
Sideline Connections™ is a youth development and education initiative designed to improve how students, coaches, and parents communicate, connect, and grow together.
Using practical, age-appropriate tools rooted in communication styles, emotional awareness, and leadership development, Sideline Connections™ helps reduce unnecessary pressure and strengthens the relationships that shape a student's experience.
