Kids are given the opportunity to express their individual talents in a safe and well supervised atmosphere. The entire experience is built around activities that challenge kids to accept and demonstrate the Y’s values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Youth Sports
We offer year-round youth sports, where kids improve their skills, make new friends and learn sportsmanship. Our sports programs provide children with opportunities to learn specific skills in a supportive environment. They are conducted with an emphasis on positive personal growth and we balance the development of physical skills with other important aspects of sports including leadership, teamwork and cooperation.

Sports include: YMCA Thunder Basketball, baseball, softball, t-ball, soccer, golf, track and field, volleyball, cross country, flag football and Miracle League baseball.

Restorative breathing exercises and final relaxation promote stress reduction and mental clarity. Chair support is provided.
