Youth Basketball Starts
in November
Why are youth sports so important in today's age?
Youth Sports show our kids having fun can be tiring, having fun can happen without a controller in hand, having fun doesn't mean being the best at something.
Youth Sports is active exercise which develops healthy habits while combating obesity, isolation, and fatigue.
Youth Sports builds up both leadership skills and the ability to follow. Gives our children an understanding of teamwork, practice, and doing the little things.
Youth Sports are fun! They are the first chance to have mom, dad, or grandparents cheer our youth on - win or lose.

Thank YOU!
In October we raised over $550 plus a $500 matching gift to purchase new mats for the Group Exercise room! AND there is still one more Kettlebell class this Saturday! Big thanks to all the Group Instructors from all the classes who helped raise money for some fresh, new mats!
On Friday, October 19, the YMCA hosted our first Party in Pink: Zumbathon! This was made possible by all the local Zumba instructors who came together, put on a great event, talked with dozens of generous, local supporters! We had over 80 people come out to dance, work out, and raise money for cancer research!
