YMCA 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.
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.
This summer, the Joliet Community YMCA (JCY) is bringing affordable and unforgettable sports camp experiences to kids in at three convenient locations in Joliet!
It’s bracket season and, as the fans across the nation make their picks, we want to give a special shoutout to an amazing group of YMCA hoopers that represented Greater Joliet Area YMCA branches at the Illinois YMCAs Statewide 2-Ball Tournament Finals over the past two weekends.
