Hamilton Area YMCA

Youth Sports at the Y - Start Here, Stay Here! 

The Y is the jumping off point for many kids to learn about the love of a sport, the importance of physical activity — and for developing the healthy habits they’ll carry with them throughout their lives.  Start here because the benefits of joining Youth Sports at the Hamilton Area YMCA are far greater than just physical health. Whether it’s gaining the confidence that comes from learning a new skill, gaining a sense of belonging, or building the positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participating in sports at the YMCA is about building a healthy, active and contributing member of the community from the inside out.

Youth sports at the YMCA teach kids more than how to score goals, make baskets or hit doubles into the gap; they teach character and social skills for future leaders. 

The YMCA philosophy of youth sports:

  • Everyone plays — We do not use tryouts to select the best players. No one is cut from a team.

  • Safety first — Coaches and staff make sure all equipment and facilities are safe.

  • Fair play — The Y is about playing by the rules and showing respect for all involved.

Through partnerships with like minded non-profit Travel Sports Clubs, participants in recreation sports programs at the Y will have the opportunity to Stay Here to develop their game and play at a competitive level through high school by trying out for one of these clubs.

Ready to take your training into live games? Our basketball league are the perfect opportunity for kids to take what they have learned about basketball and apply it to team play!

We love sports at the Y! Team sports are an excellent way for kids to learn new skills, practice discipline, meet new friends, and have fun! Leagues at the Y run in the winter each year.

In our basketball leagues your children will learn how to dribble, pass, and shoot the basketball. Coaches will teach participants about the strategy of the game and the associated rules. Kids will show what they have learned in scheduled games and will have time to practice with their team.
