  Adult Sports
 

Our adult program is based from the character development of the YMCA. Adults are viewed as the key examples to our youth. Countryside YMCA tries to portray good spirit, mind, and body through respect, responsibility, caring, and honesty. Our adult programs are designed for fun and to get the adult population involved in activities to keep healthier lifestyles and positive attitudes.

 



 


Racquetball
Racquetball currently has a floating league and a beginner league. The floating league is when people come and sign up to challenge other players in the challenge courts. This is based on convenience for players who can not commit to playing on a regular bases. There are lessons available for ages 8 and up. Racquetball ladders forming now see details below.

This is an international, competitive sport for ages 12 and up. Classes are offered for beginner and advanced levels in which students will learn the basic skills for fencing. Supplies can be provided for the class.

Volleyball is a coed league for anyone over the age of 18 to come and enjoy a fun and friendly game. This league is designed to play a round robin style of play. If someone does not know the rules of the game, then a small clinic may be conducted to introduce the sport to beginners. Sand Volleyball is played in the summertime.

Tae Kwon Do
These classes are taught by
I1-Kwon Kim, 9th degree black belt, President of the World
Martial Arts Federation and an internationally known authority on martial arts.

Beginner
Students will be taught traditional martial arts. Its emphasis is on overall self-improvement, self control, and discipline, as well as physical fitness, self-defense, balance, flexibility and strength. Individuals progress at their own pace according to their own fitness level.

Teens to Adults-any age.

Advanced
Students who have started at the Beginner Level should register at the Advanced Level after finishing their first session of Tae Kwon Do. Students at each belt level learn basic motions and forms, self-defense and breaking techniques. They also participate in supervised, controlled free-fighting. In addition, students are instructed in Korean martial arts terminology. Although most adults study to learn self-defense, there are many side benefits including stress reduction, mental discipline, alertness, greater powers of concentration and physical fitness.
Teens to Adults-any age.

To put Christian principles into practice through programs
that build healthy spirit, mind, and
body for all.
