Lighthouse/City YMCA Sports

The Lighthouse YMCA has a rich tradition of building self esteem, confidence and character in kids through our Youth Sports Programs.  Our programs are designed to promote strong kids, families and communities by placing the priority on family involvement, healthy competition and the value of participation over winning. Caring coaches and instructors create an environment in which children practice the core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility while developing a new skill.

Teams are divided into the following age groups: 8 and under, 11 and under, and 14 and under. The program introduces youth to the great game of football and develops YMCA values, teamwork, and physical fitness.
