YMCA sports build skills, teamwork and friendships! |
Sports
Did you know that basketball and volleyball were invented by early YMCA leaders?
Our sports programs develop more than skills—they develop character. We offer a variety of programs for youth, including league sports and martial arts. Instructors and coaches—often volunteers and including many parents—emphasize teamwork, cooperation, and developing good values.

Year-round Sports
With our year-round sports brochure we are currently enrolling participants in winter, spring and summer athletic leagues. Winter is our most popular league and space is limited! Teams will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. We will do our best to honor special requests but cannot guarantee practice nights or coaches. Register TODAY!
 Every youth is a winner! Y-Sports are for youth who want the opportunity to play in organized sports. Skill development, participation, teamwork, and having fun are stressed in this non-competitive program. Participants will be placed on teams ensuring that everyone plays and that all teams have equal ability. Volunteer coaches and officials are needed to make this program successful. Each season includes: practices, eight games, medal, picture day, and an end of the season potluck and award ceremony.
