YMCA Sports Are Different! Y Sports are about offering young athletes the opportunity to participate in sports programs
where the emphasis is on participation and learning in a safe, caring environment. We do not care who wins or loses. As our coaches say, “ If you have fun, you won!”
In our sports programs, every child plays at least half of every game, giving each child the opportunity to learn and play every position. We emphasize our mission, goals, core values, and methods as a basis for all decisions about this program—from how it is led, whom it serves, what is taught and how it is managed.
Y Sports are about children, and giving girls and boys the chance to succeed and reach their highest potential. In recognition of this mission the YMCA requires that all parents involved in Y Sports sign a Parent Code of Conduct as part of the registration procedure.
Parent Code of Conduct
Encourage children during game
Keep comments positive; negative behavior will not be tolerated
Leave coaching to coaches
Take any constructive comments regarding the game to the site supervisor or to the coach after the game

Help us make this a positive and fun experience for both teams
YMCA Youth Sports programs give boys and girls positive sports experiences that focus on sportsmanship, fair play and skill development. Every player receives individual attention geared towards improving their skills and understanding of the game.
