The program is co-sponsored by UCR's Intercollegiate Athletics Department. Participants will use campus sports facilities. Dr. E.M. Abdulmumin, UCR project administrator of the National Youth Sports Program, said the summer activities are intended to provide a safe and structured environment for youth from low-income families to learn sports, meet new friends, become familiar with a college campus and further develop their academic skills. UCR students, faculty, staff, and volunteers from the campus and the community will staff the program. All youths participating in the program much first pass a free physical examination provided through the program by volunteers from the UCR Biomedical Sciences division, and physicians at the UCR Student Health Center.
