YMCA sports programs provide a wholesome, values-oriented atmosphere that provides developmentally appropriate, values-based instruction designed not only to help children develop sports skills, but to develop those skills in an environment that emphasizes and rewards character as much as physical development.
The YMCA is a leader in offering quality youth sports programs, programs that discourage winning-at-all-costs and instead encourage fun, participation, skill development, fitness, teamwork, fair play, and family involvement. The underlying premise of YMCA youth sports is not only to teach skills more effectively, but also to teach young people to become more effective adults.
More specifically, the goals of YMCA youth sports are:
1. To build self-esteem;
2. To teach social skills - values, communication, human relations;
3. To teach physical skills, fitness, and health;
4. To develop responsibility and decision-making skills;
5. To enhance leadership skills in youth and adults;
6. To build relationships among peers and between parent and child;
7. To support and strenten family life; and
8. To create fun experiences for children and their families.
The YMCA believes that character development, focusing on the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, is an essential element of its sports program.
CARING: To love others and be sensitive to the well-being of others involved in the sports program.
HONESTY: To have integrity, making sure that one's actions match one's values through participation in sports.
RESPECT: To value the worth of every person, including oneself, one's teammates, opponents, and officials.
RESPONSIBILITY: To be accountable for one's behavior and obligations.
