Thanks to all of our volunteers, flag football and
cheerleading are off to a great start! The efforts of these volunteers help enforce
the positive learning experience that the YMCA strives for.
In sports like flag
football and cheerleading, a child learns to be a part of a greater whole. Not
only does a child learn to strategize, plan and work with others, they also understand what it means to be a part of a greater wholeand to think of
how their actions benefit others. Through sports, a child builds bonds and
friendships that last through multiple seasons of YMCA sports and even into
high school and adulthood. At the Y, we have seen a growing number of
volunteers who are helping us grow and develop our programs.
Last, but not least, we want to shout out a huge "thank you" to The Last Mile for donating funds that purchased new lighting for our fields. This lighting allows us to practice andplay games on more days each week.
While we are still enjoying flag football and cheer season, sign-ups are currently open for winter basketball, which will begin mid-January.
