Youth Sports

Y Youth sports encourage and promote healthy kids, families, and communities by placing a priority on family involvement, healthy competition rather than rivalry, the value of participation over winning, team-building as well as individual development, a positive self-image and a sense of fair play and mutual respect for others.

This summer, play basketball with the folks who invented the game! That’s right, the very first basketball game was played at a YMCA in Massachusetts.

Parents are encouraged to be more than mere spectators. In fact, parents are crucial to a successful sports season by contributing their time as volunteer coaches - as well as being their kid’s greatest fan. Learn more about volunteering as a youth sports coach here.
