Youth Sports

Character First, Competition Second

We believe positive early experiences are essential to future success. At the Y, children and teens can explore their unique talents and interests while learning values and positive behaviors, helping them realize their full potential.

YOUTH INSTRUCTIONAL SPORTS
  • Skill Progression
  • Game Knowledge
  • Character Development
  • HAVING FUN!!

The youth sports programs are structured to provide each child an equal opportunity to improve. Each eight week instructional program is focused on giving each child an equal opportunity to improve in game fundamentals, game knowledge, sportsmanship and teamwork, appropriate competition, and most importantly fun.

As the program progresses from week to week, the instructors will be spending less time on instructional drills and more time on game strategy through simulated games. Children are divided by grade level in each instructional program.
