Legacies United: Youth Sports Conference

Legacies United Youth Sports Conference was developed by Dennis and Erika Gullick, Owners of The Cheer Institute; Central Ohio's Premier Inter-generational Health and Wellness Facility. Over the past 15 years they have combined to engage with and serve hundreds of youth and their families, across the country. This greatly stretched their perspective, on how the platform of sports, can be used to bring forth positive change across generations. Now in the wake of a pandemic maintaining a unified front across disciplines matter most.

Our inaugural Youth Sports Conference is aimed at educating, empowering and connecting youth and their families, to a rich platform beyond what they pay to play. We hope to cultivate a shared perspective on what it means to be a scholar Athlete in today's society. In addition to what resources, policies and procedures are needed to ensure quality programming for our youth and their families in the communities they reside. This conference will be a call to action for all who attend and will stress the importance of Health/Safety and Sportsmanship.
