SPONSOR A TEAM!
Make a difference in a child's life by sponsoring a youth sport program today! Each year, thousands of area youths participate in sports leagues at the YMCA. 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 leagues at the Y teach kids the fundamentals of the game while emphasizing the importance of teamwork.
