Sports News!

Our YMCA noontime sports program is an organized sports and games program emphasizing skill and character development.  Noon- time sports are designed to meet the physical education needs of elementary school students during their lunch periods.  Noon-time sports are held at Dwyer and Sowers Middle Schools, and the following elementary schools:  Smith, Moffett, Perry, Eader, Hawes, Peterson, Seacliff and Oak View. This program is offered, free of charge, to the participating schools.  It is made possible due to the generosity of the Therese Plunkett Foundation.

After school sports concentrates on skill development, application, and play.  Basketball, Soccer, and Flag Football are very high in skill development while applying learned skills in game play. Through the program we encourage students to gain self-esteem, develop socially, physically and enhance their decision-making abilities. There is more opportunity for game play as opposed to skill instruction.  This program is offered at various schools in Huntington Beach.

 Over 100 families joined the Itty Bitty Soccer program this fall!  Itty Bitty Sports focuses on learning the basics of the game, teamwork and skill development.  It is non-competitive in nature, and serves youth ages 3-5.

Jr. Lakers

Our YMCA Jr. Lakers program is in full swing and the kids and parents are having a great time.  Once a week our Jr. Laker families pack the HB City Gym and are treated to some fun and entertaining games put forth by our little athletes aged 3-8 years old.  The kids have been treated to some quality instruction and coaching, due in large part to our experienced volunteer coaches.  It has been a promising start to the season with the remaining schedule set to be a exhilarating and memorable experience for all.
