Sports

YMCA sports aren't just for kids. We offer basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, dance, kickball & martial arts for adults...not to mention all of our group exercise!

Get up and dance! Whether you are 2 or 92, dancing can be soul lifting and offer a great mind-body workout.

Instruction in the art of dance helps people of all ages to embrace their own individuality. Combining movement with creative inspiration, dancers develop a personal enjoyment for art and culture while building confidence in their own ability to express themselves to others.

The YMCA of Austin has a gymnastics programs you will flip for! We teach kids to tumble, run, jump and twist in our kid-friendly programs. From ages 3-12, kids learn movement skills, fine motor skills, tumbling skills and advanced gymnastics elements.

Many gymnastics classes are FREE for Y members, and registration is not necessary for free classes.

Discipline. Dedication Desire. Top-notch martial arts training is available for everyone from beginner level to the competitive athlete. Programs available for youth and adults.

Instructors will teach you how to use your strength effectively, maintain cardiovascular fitness, improve flexibility and coordination, as well as tone the muscular system.

The YMCA stresses child-oriented attitudes by keeping winning in perspective, having fun, improving physical fitness, and working with the whole child. The YMCA wants the quality of play to improve in order to meet the needs of all participants whatever their ability and skills.

The YMCA accomplishes this by training adult volunteers in clinics and workshops that the child comes first and winning comes second. 

YMCA Teen Sports offer a great balance of competition, skill development and sportsmanship. When participants work together in a team atmosphere, they learn how to make decisions, communicate, work on team building, trust, and build character. We teach the fundamentals of each sport, and just as important, we focus on the YMCA’s character development traits of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility.
