Programs with a Purpose
Our Youth Sports programs maximize the positive effects of athletics by emphasizing healthy competition and promoting teamwork. The Y focuses on the life lessons that can be learned from sports, and our coaches strive to instill a positive self-image in each player.
Each fall youths ranging from preschool to six grade participate in the Y’s non-competitive youth soccer leagues. Everyone plays and everyone has fun!
