JUMP TO A SPORT
YOUTH BASKETBALL
Hoop it up! Youth Basketball is an exciting sport combining team play and individual skills. While basic skills of the game are developed through practices and games, every child learns sportsmanship and values necessary to be successful in life. We encourage fair play, positive competition, and family involvement. Youth Basketball will allows kids to learn the fundamentals while also having fun.
YOUTH GYMNASTICS
Through gymnastics, kids learn coordination, self-confidence, and motor skills in addition to developing flexibility and balance. Gymnastics sessions are typically held in Spring, Summer, and fall.
YOUTH MUSIC & DANCE
Move your body to the beat with Youth Music & Dance Classes! Dance classes are a great way for youth to develop coordination and discipline while discovering movement through music. Our goal is to bring the star out of each and every dancer by giving them the opportunity to express themselves in a positive environment and leading them on the path to a healthy lifestyle.
YOUTH SOCCER
Youth Soccer helps children develop fundamental skills and incorporates teamwork through instructional play. Whether it’s gaining the confidence that comes from learning to play or building the positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participants will learn the rules of the game and engage in team play while having fun.
YOUTH T-BALL
YMCA T-Ball focuses on building a lifelong interest in sports and introducing the skills of throwing, catching, and hitting. Rules and equipment are designed to help children build their skills and knowledge of the game. Players need to provide their own glove
YOUTH FLOOR HOCKEY
Hockey is a great teamwork sport that develops hand-eye coordination, balance and agility. Our hockey programs are played as floor hockey, which does not require the extensive equipment found in ice hockey.
