The goal of the YMCA Youth Sports program is to teach kids more than just winning the game. We strive to teach children about values and teamwork. We work to enhance sports skills, as well as self-esteem. We know a child has succeeded in our program when he or she has had a great time and played to his or her best ability. A long standing tradition in our 150 year old organization is to allow every child the experience of playing an equal amount in each game.

Our policy is that no one under the age of 14 is allowed in the Adult fitness center. We do offer many different youth programs (see this page) to keep them active and involved. Our facility has full court basketball for kids to play basketball any day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday. There are ping pong, billiards, air hockey and arcade games to play also. Monday through Friday from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm, children under the age of 14 are allowed on the walking track with a parent/guardian, and classes are offered as taught by Certified Instructors. Our programs promote healthy lifestyles, and positive youth development to build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. Please check with the YMCA regarding youth Strength Training recommendations.

There are many different membership types available, but if you think the whole family won’t use the YMCA you could sign your child up for a youth membership @ $106 per year or $10.25 per month and receive the YMCA member rates on all programs.

YMCA Sports Pledge: I pledge to play the game the best I can, to be a team player,
to respect my opponent, and to improve myself in spirit, mind, and body.
