Welcome to Kid Centric Sports Association
OUR MISSION
Kid Centric Sports Association provides opportunities in sports and healthy activities for North Idaho youth of all ages and abilities with a focus on underserved youth. Our goal is to provide program fees and equipment needed to participate.
About Us
Activities for ALL!
KCSA has provided scholarships and support to foster youth, children of veterans and underserved youth who would otherwise not be able to afford many sports activities. The purpose and goal of KCSA is for youth to be able to develop their fine and gross motor skills as they grow and develop to their full potential.
A History of Serving Kids
KCSA was formed as a nonprofit in 2009 by four dedicated volunteer parents wanting to help support more youth with funding and opportunities for healthy activities. In the early years, fundraising events were held so youth at a local gym could participate in competitions. KCSA was able to sponsor youth in the Western National Championships, the USGA Championships and help support the Great West Gym Fest held in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Today the Scholarship Program has expanded to focus on youth of all ages and abilities throughout North Idaho.
How KCSA Can Help
- Provide uniforms, required clothing and equipment
- Pay competitive expenses of amateur athletes (i.e. meet fees)
- Provide safety and training materials
- Provide scholarships to amateur athletes requiring financial aid

KCSA is proud to participate in the City of Coeur d'Alene's Adopt a Street Litter Pickup Program. Twice a year our board members and volunteers take pride in cleaning up Hanley Avenue from Highway 95 to Ramsey.
