The YMCA believes that youth sports programs encourage and promote healthy and strong kids, families and communities by placing a priority on family involvement, healthy competition rather than rivalry, the value of participation over winning, team building as well as individual development, a positive self-image and a sense of fair play and mutual respect for others. Caring adult coaches and volunteers create an asset-rich environment in which children learn and practice the core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
Parents are encouraged to be more than mere spectators by contributing their time as volunteer coaches, team parents and officials as well being their kid's greatest fan. YMCA Youth Sports programs are a great start to a lifetime of fitness and values.
