Sports and Recreation

Many positive aspects of psychological growth can result from sports participation including higher self-esteem, social skills, discipline, and respect for others. As with all YMCA programs the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility are stressed through all our sports programs.

YMCA sports camps are offered for children who want to develop skills and techniques while learning the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play. Each camp will include drills, skill development, learning the rules of the game, and actual play.

Let’s face it, life is busy and stressful so adults need activities to help reduce stress. The Y has so many choices to help with that. We can help you form an exercise and nutrition plan, but why not also try something new?

As a branch of the YMCA of the Virginia Peninsulas, our vision is to make the game of golf accessible to every Peninsula youth and to positively impact their lives. Our program promotes life skills, character development, and healthy choices. The First Tee golf program serves youth ages 5-17 and believes that a foundation built on our Nine Core Values carries our players through challenges on the course and through every stage of life.
