All YMCA Youth Sports programs are based on the YMCA’s “Everybody
Plays, Everybody Wins!” philosophy. No matter what your child’s age or
ability, he or she will learn character values, sportsmanship, and
valuable new skills as a member of YMCA Youth Sports. We use a
child-appropriate curriculum, sensitive to the needs and abilities of
each individual participant.
A mainstay of YMCA offerings for young people, YMCA youth sports
programs fill kids' discretionary hours with positive activities and
caring adult attention. Coaches—often volunteers, including many
parents—emphasize teamwork and cooperation over winning at any cost,
developing good values over developing the next superstar.
Basketball and volleyball, both YMCA inventions, are popular youth
programs, as are soccer and progressive gymnastics. Like many
youth sports programs, YMCA coaches lead players through drills and
games that build skills, develop coordination and enhance a love of
the game. But what makes us special is our philosophy. We make sure
everyone participates. And we emphasize the development of character
-- caring,
honesty,
respect and
responsibility. At the YMCA, what happens off the field is just
as important as what happens on the field. Fill your child’s free
hours with safe, fun activities around caring adults at the YMCA.
