Preschool Sports

Our preschool and youth sports programs give kids a welcoming place to make friends and learn new skills in a variety of sports. These sports help the kids grow in spirit, mind and body. All YMCA programs aim to build competence and confidence in children in a safe, secure environment for social and emotional growth. Pre-schoolers have a desire for movement and this program meets that need head-on! This is an introductory team-based format that focuses on learning basic sports skills. Watch your preschooler become more confident in their sporting abilities, build positive self-esteem and have fun in a safe and supportive environment.
