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.
And now, due to popular demand, the registration period for YMCA spring sports leagues has been extended through Monday, April 6!
PLEASE NOTE: Families who register after April 6 will be subject to a late fee. Fees vary by league. Uniforms will not be guaranteed by the first game for players registered after April 6.
Facility and Community Members from all Greater Joliet Area YMCA branches are welcome to participate at all league locations. Learn more about spring sports leagues available at your local Y branch by clicking below:

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.

The Joliet Y JETS swim team offers a range of practice groups, from beginner to advanced, based on age, skill, speed and commitment. To be placed on the beginning level of the team, swimmers must be able to swim freestyle for one length of the pool (25 yards) without stopping while demonstrating the ability to comfortably swim at the surface with arms reaching forward over the water, their face in the water, and taking breaths to the side. They must also swim 25 yards of backstroke without stopping, showing they are comfortable floating on their back while maintaining a rhythmic, supportive kick.
