Youth Sports

Youth Sports Philosophy
The Blakley Family YMCA offers sports leagues program for boys and girls. YMCA sports help youth develop physically, mentally and spiritually. League rules are in keeping with the Y’s philosophy of offering each child the opportunity to develop in spirit, mind, and body through sports as a team member.

Children of similar age experience the excitement and fun of learning new skills from a volunteer coach and fellow

teammates. Participation rules in each sports insure that children contribute to the team by playing at least half of each game. There are no try-outs or tournaments.

The values taught to the children are good sportsmanship, playing to the best of one’s abilities and appreciating the abilities of other players, coaches and officials.

EVERYBODY PLAYS, EVERYBODY WINS!
