Youth Super Sports
Building Winners for Life
At the YMCA, youth sports is as much about building character as it is about learning sports skills.
Starting this fall the YMCA is introducing Youth Super Sports. This is the YMCA's new progressive youth sports program that combines the marvelous philosophy of past YMCA youth sports programs with new program concepts. Children learn character values as well as sports skills and tactics by incorporating fun and creative games during every practice. Our "games approach" sessions during each practice are designed to better prepare players for competitions.
There are 3 components to YMCA Super Sports
YMCA Rookies Developmental program that teaches young players basic skills and strategies of the sport while incorporating our character values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
YMCA Winners
Competitive, unique, values-based sports program for older boys and girls that develops skills and tactics while keeping our character values in play.
YMCA Champions
Designed to motivate youngsters to strive for excellence. It is an innovative, challenging awards program for youth participating in YMCA Winners.
