YOUTH SPORTS
The Youth Sports program at the Mankato Family YMCA gives pre-k and elementary-aged boys and girls the opportunity to learn sports skills in a supervised, low-competitive environment.
Fun is first and foremost with youth sports at the Y. As such, it’s important that every boy and girl enrolled plays. Youth sports programs here are devoted to skill development over competition. Winning is not the goal – playing is. Parent support in this area is vital. Encourage your kids to learn skills and have fun in their areas of interest, and they’ll win regardless of the score.
Pick up a registration form at the Y or download a registration form online, fill out and return to the YMCA front desk with payment enclosed to complete program registration.
