Sports and fitness activities have always been at the core of YMCA programming.  More than learning how to kick a ball or swing a bat, YMCA sports programs teach values and character building that can become the very foundation of a person's life. Many branches of the Dallas YMCA offer both recreational and competitive team sports, as well as sports activities for all ages and abilities.

YMCA Youth Sports
YMCA Youth Sports are based on the concept that fair play is the very essence of competition.  Everybody should have an equal opportunity to compete and a fair chance to participate. 

The YMCA Youth Sports philosophy is to allow kids to participate in a noncompetitive program with an emphasis on fun, development of character, and fair play. We believe our youth sports programs helps families and individuals grow personally, clarify values, improve relationships, appreciate diversity, develop leadership skills and most of all, have fun!  At the YMCA, everyone is a winner!

Adult Leagues
Several Dallas area YMCA branches offer adult sports teams.  All levels and abilities are welcome, and depending on where you live or work you may find men's and women's full court basketball, sand volleyball, softball, swimming, soccer, handball, racquetball, and much more!

Check with your local YMCA branch to find out what sports activities are available in your neighborhood.
