Youth Sports

Where Every Player
is Most Valuable

Ages 5-17

Our YMCA Youth Sports Program is dedicated to improving sports skills while emphasizing fun, sportsmanship, teamwork and the development of self-esteem.

We offer non-competitive sports for children ages 5-12 and competitive sports seasonally for teens ages 13- 17. All skill levels are welcome and everybody plays!

Understanding that every child has different skill levels, the referees are dedicated to explaining fouls before announcing them, and they concentrate on teaching methods that relate to each child's needs.

Attention: Skill assessments are mandatory for all team sports. Note: You must fill out an draft card for practice preference; jersey size, etc.

Register: You can register online if you are a member or past participant. (see session detail for link). Or, download a registration form (PDF)

For ages 2-5, go to Pee Wee Sports

Mission Valley Y thanks Wendy's for supporting our
Youth Sports programs!




Skill Assessments Information & Dates

Why do we have to attend assessments?
Assessments are not tryouts! Each player is put on a team. It is our goal during team selection to balance out age, height and skill. We run assessments to try to ensure league parity.

Do you know my child's assessment?
If your child played the same sport you are registering for, the PRIOR season, we have an assessment on their skill and they do not need to attend skill assessment.

If we don't attend assessments, does my child still get on a team?
If you do not make it to assessments there is NO guarantee we can put your child on a team, even if you've paid in full. You'll need to do a make-up assessment, and if we cannot get your child on a team, we will refund you in full.

Can you guarantee that my child can play with a friend, play for a certain team, or practice on a certain night?
The only thing we guarantee is that our volunteer coaches can coach their own child. All other requests we will do our best to accommodate, unless we feel it imbalances a league. You may tell us ONE night during the week on which you are unable to practice
