About This Activity
Description
Getting a child involved in sports at an early age has proven to help them develop social, interpersonal, and athletic skills. That's why our Rookie Leagues is a great opportunity to introduce your child to all the fun sports have to offer.
YMCA Rookie Sports is designed to introduce children to the basics of sports in a fun and inviting environment. The leagues focuses on teaching new skills and fundamentals of the sports while emphasizing on learning, confidence building, socialization and most of all, HAVING FUN! It is a 50/50 developmental style, which is half learning and half play.
