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!

Summer
Youth dodgeball clinic

Boost your agility, coordination, and teamwork in this fun, medium-intensity dodgeball program. Using soft foam balls for safety, kids build skills, stay active, and make new friends in a supportive YMCA environment.

The Dodgeball Season runs for 8 weeks with games every Thursday night from 6-7:30pm.

Registration for the Summer Youth Dodgeball Clinic 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 Augusta Sportswear 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.
