Youth Sports

Did you know that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends at least 1 hour of exercise per day?

For youth in school for several hours, that hour can be difficult to find!

But the Y offers several exciting sports programs that will help youth: 

• be active
• learn, grow, or improve specific skills
• develop the Y's four core values: honesty, respect, responsibility, and caring
• make friends
• grow in teamwork and good sportsmanship
• feel supported while learning new skills
• enjoy a nurturing environment to boost self-esteem and likelihood of success
• have fun! 

We offer a number of youth programs, including a variety of sports, swimming activities, and camps for kids and teens of all ages. YMCA sports offers children an opportunity to learn how to play most sports in a less-competitive environment. All of the sports programs have implemented special rules dictating guaranteed playing time for all participants that ensures your child a great opportunity to play.

The goal of the YMCA for every child is to have a fun, safe, and productive experience in any sport offered, as the YMCA believes that the overall well-being and success of the athletes is more important than winning.
