HIstory
The Worthington Youth Boosters has been in existence since 1952. While Worthington experienced significant growth in the 50's, so did the number of young families who had children with a need for organized sports. A group of parent volunteers formed the Cardinal Boosters. Baseball was the first sport. Over time, community growth continued and many sports were added. When the school system added a second high school in the late 80's, it transformed into the Worthington Youth Boosters, also known as "WYB". The group was registered as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization in 1988.
WYB Today
WYB has grown significantly since it’s start, now with over 6,000 participants annually! Our programming spans twelve sports with opportunities for kids of all ages to
play recreationally or
compete at a higher level. We are thankful to the Worthington community, our
facilities partners and the hundreds of volunteers who make it all possible.
Governance
Worthington Youth Boosters is governed by a Board of Directors who volunteer their time to oversee the organization and ensure that children in Worthington have the opportunity to play, learn, and grow through sports.
