Are you on the lookout for engaging and constructive youth sports programs for your child? Look no further than your local YMCA! Whether your child is just starting their athletic journey or looking to further their skills, the Lafayette Family YMCA has something for everyone.

Read on to explore a few popular youth sports offered at the Y!

 

1. T-Ball

 

 

Our spring, summer, and fall T-ball program is perfect for children ages three to six who are just starting their athletic journey. Kids learn the fundamentals of baseball—such as hitting, fielding, and running bases—in a fun and supportive environment.

Plus, T-ball encourages hand-eye coordination, motor skills, and teamwork. It's an excellent way for kids to develop a love for sports and physical activity from a young age.

 

2. Soccer

 

 

Soccer is the world's most popular sport, and the Y is ready to get your child in the game! Through our youth soccer programs, kids ages three to eight are led through a step-by-step process that helps them learn, practice, and apply skills such as ball-handling, teamwork, and strategy.

Soccer is a fantastic sport for building endurance, agility, and cardiovascular fitness, all while having a blast on the field. At the Lafayette Family YMCA, we offer youth soccer programs throughout the year—including indoor soccer sessions during the winter.

 

3. Basketball

 

 

Basketball is another fun and popular youth sport offered at the Y! During the fall and winter sessions, children ages three to twelve can start learning the basics of dribbling, shooting, and passing.

Our coaches emphasize hard work, respect, responsibility, and self-confidence to help players be the best they can be. Basketball promotes cardiovascular health, coordination, and agility, making it a well-rounded sport for kids to enjoy.

 

4. Other Athletic Opportunities

 

 

And the fun doesn’t stop there! The YMCA offers a wealth of other youth sports events and opportunities throughout the year. These additional programs—such as swimming lessons, flag football, and floor hockey—can help build your child’s skills or introduce them to their new favorite sport!

Keep an eye out for special leagues, camps, and events that can keep your child active regardless of the season!

 

These youth sports offered at the Y not only encourage physical fitness but also teach essential life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship.
