YOUTH SPORTS

Some of the best work comes from all the amazing Volunteer Coaches!

Youth sports at the Y are a success in large part because of all the volunteer coaches! Each team in each league is coached, often by a parent, on a volunteer basis. Each Youth Sports program has opportunities for volunteers to coach, assist and referee games. If you’re a parent of a child enrolling in a youth sport and would like to be a coach, please answer accordingly in the online enrollment form for your chosen sport. If you don't have a child in the sport, contact us for more information. Jon Reimer: jreimer@superiorymca.org OR Shawn Pagnucci: shawnp@superiorymca.org.

We have created a video introducing the importance of Character Development in all youth activities.

Studies have shown that most youth are not truly physically prepared to play tackle football until they are around 14 years old. We believe safety is of paramount importance and encourage you to start your child’s football career with us!

Children are split into age-based divisions and use practice curriculum created by Y-USA trained staff in a fun, play-based atmosphere.

DID YOU KNOW? Volleyball was invented at a YMCA!

The game of volleyball, originally called “mintonette,” was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan after the invention of basketball only four years before. Morgan, a graduate of the Springfield College of the YMCA, designed the game to be a combination of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball.

Our volleyball program offers a group practice and scrimmage style league for the 3/4 Division. The 5/6 and 7/8 Divisions are split into teams that compete against each other weekly. The goal of these leagues is to help youth get a jump-start on their volleyball careers in a FUN, team-first inclusive atmosphere. And for the first time ever, we're offering the program for 3rd & 4th graders!
