The most important thing about YMCA Youth Sports is the value of the sports experience that the YMCA offers youth. Together, with a tremendous amount of effort from parents/volunteers, we teach young people not only about sports skills and lifetime physical activity, but also about responsibility, leadership, nonviolent conflict resolution, sportsmanship, integrity, and cooperation. Youth sports and recreation programs are also one of the top things through which we as a community can increase physical activity and fitness amongst our youth.
The YMCA incorporates the character values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility into a fun environment of team play and skill building. That coupled with the fact that youth sports is a great opportunity for quality family time are all reasons why we are enthusiastic about youth sports and see our efforts working in kids, families, and community.
The quality of any youth sports experience depends on the competence and supportiveness of its adult program leaders, particularly the coaches. Did you know that approximately 2.5 million adults generously volunteer their time each year as coaches of youth sports teams? Volunteer commitment provides a vital source of support for our young people.
