Welcome to the SPRING season!

The YMCA offers a valuable sports experience through our Youth Sports program. Our program teaches young people not only about basic, fundamental sports skills and the importance of physical activity throughout a lifetime, but also about responsibility, leadership, integrity, nonviolent conflict resolution, sportsmanship, and cooperation. The YMCA incorporates the character values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility into an enjoyable environment of team play and skill building.

Childhood health risks have skyrocketed in our nation due to an increase in youth obesity and inactivity. It seems that everywhere we turn we are hearing a story regarding this alarming news. As a community we can rally together and with a tremendous amount of effort through recreation programs such as Youth Sports, we can increase physical activity and fitness amongst our youth. Best of all, the kids love it and have FUN! Thank you for being a part of Youth Sports,
