—
In the age of screens, social media and gaming, our sports programs keep kids moving and social with physical interaction – improving their physical and mental health while teaching healthy competition for improved skills and better confidence.
Sports and recreation at the YMCA are a positive environment where children work as a team and gain new skills and hobbies. While this may just seem like fun and games, these things lay a foundation that will go with them into adulthood.
