 A
mainstay of YMCA offerings for young people, Y
youth sports programs fill kids' discretionary
hours with positive activities and caring adult
attention. Coaches—often volunteers, including
many parents—emphasize teamwork and cooperation
over winning at any cost, developing good values
over developing the next superstar.
Basketball and volleyball, both YMCA inventions,
are popular youth programs, as are baseball,
softball, T-ball, soccer and progressive
gymnastics. Other local options range from
traditional sports like tennis and football to
such newer inventions as in-line rollerskate
hockey and wallyball. Some YMCAs offer programs
for people with disabilities. Many YMCAs offer
options for adults, too.
