FALL SOCCER ITS
 

spring soccerYMCA Youth Super Sports is the YMCA's new progressive youth sports program that combines the marvelous philosophy of past YMCA  sports programs with new program concepts. Open to all children ages 4-15, participants will learn the basics of soccer and team sports. Drills, skills and lead up games will be the focus of practices. Saturdays will focus on trying out these new skills through league games. Some age groups will travel to surrounding communities and YCMA's. The YMCA Soccer Program gives every child the opportunity to play and learn through athletic endeavors that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Volunteers are essential to the success of this program; we are looking for coaches, assistant coaches, referees, and team parents.

  • Be a volunteer shopper
  • Make a donation (we are $78.00 away from our goal)
  • Ask your friends and family to shop or make a donation!
  • Contribute school supplies (paper, notebooks, pencils, pens, crayons, etc.) at the Y through August 5th.

 

Our shopping day is Tuesday, August 9, 2011.
