YOUTH SPORTS

GET IN
THE GAME

Our YMCA Youth Sports programs encourage and promote healthy kids, families, and communities. Priority is placed on family involvement, healthy competition versus rivalry, team building & the value of participation over winning. Here at the Y, our Sports Philosophy is 'Athletes First, Winning Second.' We aim to keep kids moving and focus on their health and well-being.

​

The YMCA offers sports all-year-round, across our association, for youth ages 3 - 18. We offer a variety of sports programs including basketball, cheerleading, soccer, swim team, and taekwondo.

  

We offer both competitive and recreational youth sports programs.
