Approximately 2,000 student-athletes have attended OCYSA’s programs & clinics since 2013.
About 50% of those student-athletes have been on FULL financial scholarship due to need.

The future for OCYSA is bright.
Our goal is to grow by 20% in 2017.
North Huntington Beach and Santa Ana households' need for our programs is driving that growth. Our fastest growing athletic Program is “Youth Wrestling” followed by “Speed and Agility”. Both programs are co-ed.

One of OCYSA’s biggest challenges is
a shortage of storage space near our practice areas
for equipment and the ability to move equipment such as wrestling mats, core training equipment etc.
