Y Sports for everyone
Youth Sports
The YMCA Youth Sports philosophy is unique. We emphasize
good sportsmanship, teamwork, values, and fellowship with
others, in addition to teaching fundamental skills. We are
not concerned with wins or losses, keeping score or league
standings. The two important goals as a parent and a coach
are to make sure each child has fun and learns the
fundamentals of each sport. The YMCA enforces certain rules
to help ensure that this philosophy is fostered:
*** NO TRY-OUTS OR CUTS
*** EACH PARTICIPANT PLAYS AT LEAST HALF THE GAME
*** EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON PARTICIPATION, NOT WINNING
