Youth Sports

The YMCA is the starting point for many children to learn about becoming and staying active, and developing healthy habits they’ll carry with them throughout their lives.

Whether it’s gaining the confidence that comes from learning to swim or building positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participating in sports at the YMCA is about building the whole child, from the inside out.

Program goals

  • Promote physical activity and the development of healthy habits.
  • Make new friends, get active with other kids, and learn to love sport at the Y.
  • Develop and improve coordination, motor skills, and dexterity.
  • Build social skills, gain confidence, and develop leadership skills in a positive and structured environment.
  • Teaching children the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, cooperation, and positive self-image.
