youth flag football - Greater Wichita YMCA

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