America's favorite pasttime! It's important for kids to be involved in sports, and we want all kids to have the opportunity to try baseball which is why we offer three co-ed baseball league levels: tee-ball, coach pitch, and advanced coach pitchAll of our baseball leagues are co-ed to offer boys and girls the opportunity to join a local league. Co-ed Youth Baseball consists of 3 introductory levels for baseball skill development. Tee-Ball is for those players being introduced to baseball. Coach Pitch is for the experienced tee-ball player ready to learn additional skills. Coach pitch players will be introduced to having a ball pitched at the batter. Advanced Coach Pitch introduces players to more advanced drills for developing speed and accuracy. Players may play up an age bracket but not down. Practices and games will be one hour long. Practice will be on Tuesday nights between 5:30 pm and 7:30 pm. Games will be on Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm. Game times vary.
Basketball was invented at the YMCA, so there's no better place to learn! Our youth basketball leagues are designed to give players of all skill levels a place to participate. These are non-competitive co-ed leagues focused on perfecting individual skills and learning team skills. We emphasize equal playing time and fun through caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. Players can play up an age bracket but not down. Players can request only one other person to be placed on their team–siblings are automatically placed on a team together. The coach will set one practice per week. Please note if there is a day you cannot practice on the registration form. Practices will be half-court only. Practice and games will be one hour long. Game times may vary.
