Youth Sports
At The Y!
At the Y, we nurture the potential of every child and strive to offer safe options for your children to stay active, and engaged!
Whether it’s gaining the confidence that comes with learning a new skill like swimming or building positive relationships that lead to good character and teamwork, participating in youth programs at the Y is about building the whole child, from the inside out!
We also have a 9-hole, par 3 golf course where we offer adult and youth golf programs.
Registration for our Youth Sports leagues is now OPEN!

About Our
Jerseys
Our brand new 2025 youth sports jerseys have arrived, delivering striking, energetic style to every game — inspired by memorable locations all around the city of Lakeland!
Youth Sports Jersey For Basketball
Starting in the Summer of 2025, all league players will need to order our custom designed jersey from Gamebreaker to participate in YMCA Youth Sports leagues. The best part? Once you purchase a jersey, you’re set until design changes, as long as it still fits!
Jerseys are ordered directly from our supplier so you can have them shipped right to your home and be ready to play at the first practice!”
Volunteer
Parents are encouraged to go beyond simply cheering from the sidelines. We invite you to become active participants by volunteering and always supporting your child's endeavors.
Financial Assistance
The YMCA of West Central Florida is a community-based organization dedicated to ensuring everyone has access to our programs and services. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and partners, we offer financial assistance on a sliding scale to those in need. Learn more below.
