The Power of Play

Playing a sport at any age is beneficial. If you’re trying to find a way to stay motivated and stay active, sports may be your best option. A few of the key benefits of joining sports at the Y – or anywhere – include:

• Sports teach teamwork. Joining a sport helps teach teamwork, especially in kids. You need to work together to reach your goals and win a game.
• Physical health. Sports are physically intense, and if you engage in sports, they offer immense physical benefits. You'll build muscle, burn more calories and even improve flexibility by joining a sport.
• Self-esteem. Many people lack self-esteem and confidence. Kids and adults will build self-confidence and self-esteem by working hard in their respective sports.
• Academics.  In adolescents, sports may even improve academic performance. Many athletes learn the importance of hard work and discipline, and they bring these skills to their schoolwork, too.

2024-2025 School Year program registration opens August 12th, 7:00am for members and August 14th, 8:30am for program members. 

After August 14 anyone can register at any time throughout the 2024-2025 School Year Session (September-May) & when there is an opening in the class, you will start right away. No more waiting for the next session to start. If the program/class is full, we suggest you join the waitlist. This will allow our program directors to add more of the high demand classes or put you in line for when a spot opens up for that program/class.

Monthly Recurring Classes

Register Online or stop by the front desk to register in person. Once registered, your automatic payment will occur on the 1st of every month. We will prorate & offer make up classes as needed but there will not be a way to sign up in advance for future months until after 25th of the current month. You can sign your child up for a class and they will stay in that class until the end of the 2024-2025 School Year session (May 25, 2025). If at any time you wish to cancel registration you will fill out a digital cancelation form by the 20th of the month. Your child’s enrollment will then expire at the end of that month.

We even have private lessons for those that can’t commit to scheduled sports games.

Countryside YMCA offers a variety of recreational teams and leagues for youth and adults intended to promote activity which encourages fitness, fun and fellowship in the form of organized sports.

Sports leagues allow kids to try out numerous sports and have an opportunity to gain confidence. We'll help all players gain the skill and confidence they need to reach their full potential, whether they’re playing baseball, basketball, flag football or soccer.
