Youth Sports

In youth sports we stress skill development and fundamentals, sportsmanship, personal growth and development, values, teamwork, physical fitness and having fun. Volunteers are always needed and appreciated, especially to coach teams. The novice as well as the more developed players will find this program exciting and challenging. Practices will be held once a week for first-sixth grades. Times are subject to change. Grades three and up may have to travel to local YMCAs to form a complete league.
