Las Vegas Bowl executive director John Saccenti meets with youth football coaches from National Youth Sports after announcing a partnership with the bowl game and league.

The Las Vegas Bowl continued its investment in local youth football by announcing a partnership with National Youth Sports (NYS) Nevada this afternoon.

Las Vegas Bowl logos will adorn the back of youth teams’ helmets this season, and the champions of all nine age brackets will be honored during this year's bowl game, which takes place on Dec. 16 at Sam Boyd Stadium.

The announcement was made Saturday at Liberty High School during a NYS football clinic.

“The Las Vegas Bowl has a long history of supporting youth football in our city and this is another great example of that commitment,” Las Vegas Bowl Executive Director John Saccenti said. “We are not just a December event but a proud member of this community that wants to promote good sportsmanship and player safety on the field at every level all year long. NYS Nevada is a perfect partner for us.”

The players of each championship team will be recognized on the field in December, with discounted tickets offered to all families of NYS Nevada athletes. One family will also receive a VIP experience to the bowl game, which will feature the top team from the Mountain West Conference against a Pac-12 Conference opponent.

“It’s exciting to be teaming up with the Las Vegas Bowl to give our young student-athletes the opportunity to attend the game,” NYS co-owner Justin Phelps said. “It will give them a chance to see up-close and personal that hard work in the classroom and on the football field pays off. This partnership will have a positive lasting impact in the Las Vegas community for years to come.”
