YMCA Youth Sports
The YMCA offers sports for children age 3 through High School. Programs typically last for eight weeks and include one practice a week and eight games. If you have a 3 or 4-year old child in one of the "Mighty" programs, practices and games take place on the same day. After each season the players receive a certificate of participation.

Volunteers Needed
All the YMCA Youth Sports Programs use volunteers for coaches. In most cases these volunteers are parents or family members of children that are in the program. You don’t need to be an expert. YMCA staff will show you what you need to know. By volunteering, you are giving children the chance to learn new skills and sportsmanship, values they will carry with them throughout their lives. If you are interested in coaching, please call the Youth Sports Office at 334-0100.
