Children & Youth Programs

At the Y, children's sports are designed to be energetic,  inclusive, and fun while building their physical literacy (PDF). We know that children who have fun playing a sport and acquire fundamental movement skills at an early age are more likely to stay active and maintain healthy habits into adulthood.

Physical activity should be a positive experience for kids, so we focus on helping children develop age appropriate skills in an encouraging, supportive atmosphere. From our Active Play program, to basketball, dance, soccer and martial arts - there's a  program for every child!
