YMCA MVP SPORTS: A HEAD START TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE! At our Ys, our sports staff, coaches and volunteers all share a singular vision of helping all youth reach their full potential in life. We leverage the excitement and passion around recreational and competitive programming to create a healthy outlet for children to gain new skills, develop a sense of team and connect with positive role models. We encourage and include activities that help in developing gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination and encourage a love for sports, all while having fun. PRE-SEASON: JOINING A TEAM Ages: 3 years - 5 years Length: 45 Minute Class/4 Week Session Children learn the basics of the sport, teamwork, feel a sense of achievement and confidence, increase their gross motor skills and hand eye coordination, and make friends. This is a great class for a child who is new to the sport. LEAGUE: COMPETING AND LEARNING Ages: 3 years - 5 years Length: 60 Minute Class/8 Week Session Leagues provide children a chance to learn rules and skills of the sport in a fun but competitive environment. Our staff coaches work with the team so that each child is engaged and connected with their peers. As the league progresses, new skills are taught with a practice at the beginning of the class and then a coached game to follow. YMCA MVP League s goal is to keep children active, learning and having fun while gaining a love for organized sports. PRACTICE AND PLAY: GROWING OUR TALENT Ages: 3 years - 5 years Length: 45 Minute Class/8 Week Session Practice and Play is a great class to take in conjunction with the league.
