Our youth basketball league helps players develop fundamental skills like dribbling, shooting, passing, teamwork, and sportsmanship through fun, age-appropriate drills and activities. 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.
