What is Y Super Sports?  Y Super Sports is the YMCA's new progressive program that combines the philosophy of past YMCA sports, Everyone Plays - Everyone Wins, with new program concepts.  Practices are based on the "games approach" where players learn skills and tactics by playing games during each practice session.

Can children of all sports abilities play?  The goal of the program is that all youth who have a desire to play a sport can find a place on a YMCA team.  Children of all skill and development levels are welcome.

How many practices and games?  One game and one practice are held each week.

Registration starts Nov. 14th, with the season starting in January.  Register at the Welcome Center or online by clicking here.

Karate helps to increase confidence, physical fitness, and concentration. Participants develop skills at their own pace while improving fitness, coordination, and balance.

Try a FREE class any Tuesday or Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

Contact Angela Sproul if you would like more information about Karate.

We have moved the party into the gym...the Zumba party that is!  Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6:30 p.m., come check it out.
