We are excited to share that the Y’s new full-sized sports center, offering full and half-court basketball and volleyball, and four pickleball courts, will be available for member use late this fall. Once completed, programs will return to the new gymnasium where participants will be the first to try out our new floor!
With clinics, workshops, intensives and programs for preschoolers through teenagers across Aquatics, Fitness, Gymnastics, School of Performing Arts, new special needs programming, Sports and Y Ninja Gym, there is something for everyone! YMCA programs help keep children's minds and bodies active and build confidence and a positive attitude. Children can explore new interests. Having choices and taking responsibility engages children and allows them to learn and enjoy something new or something they are already enjoying.
