SPORTS PROGRAMS
Kids In Sports
The Y has partnered with Kids In Sports, a team of sports educators, who’ve created an expertly designed curriculum that is innovative, age-appropriate, and fun!
Their multi-sport program for younger children grows with your child–from adult participation to separation classes. Older children learn the fundamentals of specific team sports, and at every age your child gains important life skills like taking instruction, working in groups, and sportsmanship. These classes begin to focus children on the principles of six sports (soccer, basketball, baseball, football, volleyball, and hockey), teaching fundamentals of sports moves and general game play rules.
Kids In Sports take pride in nurturing the development of your whole child. With a low student-to-coach ratio, they will help each child grow in the confidence and skills they need to succeed in sports, school, and life.
