Get A Kick Out Of Sports
At the Y we cheer for more than points
The YMCA of Barry County is proud to offer a wide range of sports for both youth and adults. We believe positive competition and sport skills go hand in hand with friendship and sportsmanship. Keep reading to learn more about our youth sports programs and how you can get involved.
Y Sports help kids build character
Kids who play sports at the Y discover so much more than their athletic abilities. They build character, develop self-confidence and create healthy relationships. The Y’s revamped Sports program is designed to reflect the Y’s core values—caring, honesty, respect and responsibility—through positive competition.
