The Y is the starting point for youth to learn about becoming and staying active and developing healthy habits that kids will carry throughout their lives. The benefits are more than just physical health; whether it’s gaining the confidence that comes from learning to swim or building relationships that lead to teamwork. Participation in sports at the Y is about building up the whole child, from the inside out. Visit www.ymcacva.org for dates and current schedules.
