Parent Central Services is the central point of contact for registration and participation in all CYS Services.

The Parent Central staff is here to assist you in placing your child in the location and facility that best meets the needs of you and your child. Our office can provide you with information, resources and support to help you make a well-informed child care decision.

To register your child for any of our child care options, you must complete and submit a registration packet. You can find registration information on the Parent Central Services Registration Page.

A Youth Sports Physical must be completed annually, prior to the start of the sport season.

The form must be completed with a doctor’s signature and stamp and submitted to Parent Central Services during registration. 

Hint: The best time to get your child’s physical, if possible, is in July so your child’s physical will be valid for all sports for one full year.

Did you play sports in High School or College? Have you always wanted to coach Football, Soccer or Basketball? Are you a Cheerleader at heart? Even if you have never played or coached a sport before, you can still become a certified volunteer coach!

CYS Volunteer Coaches encourage all children to explore the world of sports, learn the fundamentals of good sportsmanship and have fun at the same time. For more information, call the CYS Sports & Fitness at +82 (0)50-3357-2244 to speak with someone who can help you become involved with our youth.
