Teams are formed by YMCA staff, with weekly practices and weekend games or scrimmages depending on the level. Led by supportive coaches and Y staff, the program focuses on building confidence, fostering inclusion, and creating a positive, enjoyable basketball experience for every player.

Minis & Kinders Soccer is an instructional and recreational 8-class soccer program for preschoolers and Kindergarteners (ages 3–6). Volunteer coaches help introduce young players to the basics of soccer in a fun, supportive, and inclusive environment. Coaches lead age-appropriate drills, skill-building activities, and simple scrimmages that focus on fundamentals such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and learning to move the right direction on the court or field. There are no official games or scorekeeping — the emphasis is on participation, confidence-building, teamwork, and sportsmanship. All teams are co-ed and supported by YMCA staff. Practices with scrimmages are held once per week, indoors or outdoors depending on the season. Coaches are encouraged to create a positive experience for every participant and to work collaboratively with parents, particularly for Kindergarten-aged players, to support engagement and fun. No prior coaching experience is required. Training, resources, and ongoing support are provided by the YMCA.

YMCA T-ball programs are designed to help players learn basic skills such as batting, catching, throwing, and the rules of the game. All kids are encouraged to play by getting equal chances to bat, run bases, and play in the field. Y youth sports encourage and promote healthy kids, families, and communities by placing a priority on family involvement, healthy competition rather than rivalry, the value of participation over winning, team-building as well as individual development, a positive self-image and a sense of fair play and mutual respect for others.

For some kids, school is the only place they are sure to get a meal. The Y is working to change that. Help us prepare backpack meals for kids who identify as being homeless in our community. Bags are filled with food that is child-friendly, nutritious, non-perishable, and easy to eat. Help us develop a sustainable program that will serve youth.
