Summer Sports Clinics

Take Athletic Skills to the Next Level

Hone skills, have fun, and gain an edge. Summer clinics keep youth active, engaged, and learning while revisiting the fundamentals of the sport, practicing skills, and making new friends while learning about teamwork.

About Clinics

Our clinics are limited to a maximum of 10-15 participants, ensuring that your child gets the personalized attention they need to succeed. Clinics are hosted by staff, not volunteers. Locations and times could vary by clinic, sport and child’s age.

The Seven Pillars of YMCA Youth Sports

1.

Everyone Plays

Welcoming and accommodating participants of all backgrounds, abilities, and skill levels, and actively working to remove barriers to participation.

2.

Safety First

Ensuring the safety of all participants through proper equipment, rules enforcement, and trained staff and volunteers.

3.

Fair Play

Encouraging good sportsmanship is essential. Participants should learn the importance of fair play, respect for opponents, and how to handle wins and losses with grace and humility.

4.

Positive Competition

Cultivating an environment where healthy competition values effort and improvement above winning alone. Emphasize the value of competing to the best of one’s abilities, respecting opponents, and learning from victories and defeats.

5.

Family Involvement

Parents are encouraged to support their children positively and respect the decisions of coaches and officials. Involvement provides a sense of belonging for young athletes.

6.

Sports For All

Inclusive sports programs welcome and accommodate participants of all backgrounds, abilities, genders, and skill levels. They actively work to remove barriers that might prevent certain individuals or groups from participating.

7.

Sports For Fun

Above all, youth sports should be fun and enjoyable. When children and adolescents have positive experiences in sports, they are more likely to stay active and engaged throughout their lives.
