Youth Sports
YMCA youth sports provide recreational activities in a team setting with an emphasis on FUNdamentals in a Christian environment. Children are encouraged to participate, learn and grow in skills, confidence, and character. Parents, volunteers and staff who are committed to the values of CARING, HONESTY, RESPECT, and RESPONSIBILITY support our leagues.The Northwest Family YMCA philosophy puts the sport, the game, the activity, winning or losing and personal success into proper perspective. The emphasis is upon being "A winner in life." Our youth sports programs consists of Spring/Fall Soccer, Baseball, Basketball, and more.
Registration
Youth sports are for ages 4-14. Individual sport registration forms are in the lobby of the YMCA. All participants must be a Facility Member or Program Member. Season dates are subject to change based on make-up games and league size at the end of registration.
Volunteers
Volunteers are a vital part of YMCA youth sports. Parents and coaches provide the power of instruction, support and encouragement that build winning spirits in our youth. Volunteers and sponsors also provide the time and resources that help make our leagues successful. Here are a few ways you can be involved:
- Committee member — provide valuable feedback for league development and quality control.
- Sponsor — provide growth for league, teams, and players
- Coach — provide coaching for youth team
- Team Parent — bring refreshments and snacks for players
- Support Volunteer — assist with league organization
League Balance
To equalize team strength so that all players can develop basic skills in a balanced league of play, the Player Placement System is used. We are sorry that we cannot honor specific coach or team requests.
Practice
Practices will be on a weeknight selected by your volunteer coach. We cannot guarantee a specific practice night.
Insurance
The YMCA does not carry accident insurance for any of its program participants. Each participant is responsible for their own insurance.
Financial Assistance
We feel that your child's participation is more important that the fee.
