The YMCA’s Itty Bitty Sports Programs teach the basic skills of the sport through drills and practices with less emphasis on the game. We concentrate more on the fundamentals of the sport. Itty Bitty Sports run 45-minutes and are for ages 2-4 years old. Each participant is required to wear gym shoes and sports attire while equipment will be provided from the Y. Parent involvement with their child is required during class.

Discover the Possibilities with Youth Enrichment Programs

Whether a child is trying something for the first time or diving deeper into a passion they already love, enrichment programs offer the chance to explore, grow, and thrive. Imagine the confidence boost that comes from learning to paint a mural, performing on stage, coding a basic video game, or even leading a community cleanup with peers. There’s truly something for every personality, interest, and age group. It’s about building friendships, pushing boundaries, and discovering talents kids (and sometimes even their parents!) didn’t know they had.

And the impact? It goes beyond fun and games. These experiences shape character. They teach responsibility, empathy, communication, and resilience. Every challenge tackled, every skill mastered, and every goal reached becomes part of a young person’s foundation for the future.

So go ahead—explore what’s out there. You never know where a new experience might lead. From unforgettable moments to lifelong skills, youth enrichment programs are more than just extracurricular—they’re extraordinary.
