The variety of our sports programming will help individuals make healthy choices, build relationships, and improve their physical condition. More importantly, the supportive environment that surrounds the YMCA leads to an enjoyable time and participants see the benefits of being healthy and active. The Y has something for everyone. We offer Basketball, Soccer, Track & Field, T-Ball, Dance, Cheer, Tumbling, and Martial Arts, just to mention a few.

Learn a new sport or enhance your current skills through the youth and adult sports programs and clinics offered year-round at the YMCA.

For our younger participants, YMCA youth sports develop a strong foundation of physical, emotional, and social skills in young athletes as they begin their athletic journey.  Our programs emphasize participation, fun, sportsmanship, all while introducing healthy competition.  With a family approach,  participants, parents, and coaches are all part of the experience in YMCA youth sports.

We develop the person and the athlete:

  • Develop confidence through trying new things
  • Encourage effort, not outcome, to develop discipline and motivation
  • Promote inclusivity, sportsmanship, and cooperation
  • Amplify the athletes voice and help them to define their goals
  • Align structure, language, and skill
  • Learn to compete
  • Strengthen support systems
  • Coach positive parenting for athletes
  • Create intentional family engagement opportunities
