We know that the start of summer is an exciting time at the Y. To help our members make the most of their Y experience, here are a few friendly reminders :
When kids play sports, they do more than just exercise. Besides being physically active, they develop higher self-esteem, perform better in school and work better in groups. Youth sports programs at the YMCA teach kids the fundamentals of the game while emphasizing the importance of teamwork. Above all, kids who participate in YMCA youth sports have a lot of fun.
The YMCA’s Junior Wolves program is excited to offer a new youth softball program this summer. This program is designed for girls, ages 6-8, who are looking to strengthen their game!
As the Greater Joliet Area YMCA celebrates its Centennial Anniversary in 2026, we are excited to announce that sponsorship opportunities for the fifth annual Mission Strong Golf Classic are now available. Generously presented by Midland States Bank, this year’s outing will take place on Monday, August 31 at Morris Country Club. Proceeds will support the Mission Strong Fund, helping ensure that no one is turned away from the YMCA due to the inability to pay.
