Youth Sports at the Middlesex YMCA - We're More than a Gym!

Don't miss this chance to help your children develop skills, stay active, meet new friends and HAVE FUN! Classes start November 3rd!

At the Middlesex YMCA we create a positive atmosphere where your children can make friends, learn skills, and have fun all year round. Fall Session 2 registration is open and classes begin November 3rd! All classes are taught by Certified Physical Educator and Camp Ingersoll's Assistant Director, Coach Taylor!

Fall Session 2: November 3rd - December 22nd, 2018
Sports are more than dribbling, kicking, or throwing. We teach social skills: how to make friends, share common interests, how to work together with a partner, and HAVE FUN! It shouldn't be a chore to work up a sweat in youth classes, and it isn't at the Y. Our activities are participation based, exciting, and all inclusive!

Our Fall Saturday Morning offerings with Coach Taylor include:
