Y SPORTS PHILOSOPHY<br />
The philosophy of <strong>YMCA</strong> <strong>youth</strong> sports<br />
programs is to use sports as a tool to<br />
develop each participant physically, mentally<br />
and spiritually.<br />
Emphasis is on teaching the values of good<br />
sportsmanship, teamwork, goal setting<br />
and skill development in a fun, esteempromoting<br />
atmosphere.<br />
At the <strong>YMCA</strong>, the athlete is first and<br />
winning is second. Because of this, <strong>YMCA</strong><br />
recreational leagues guarantee that all<br />
participants play half of each game.<br />
Participants also learn the core values of<br />
caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.<br />
As a result, sportsmanship is required from<br />
participants, coaches and spectators.<br />
