Sports
Yesterday kids were playing sports at the park alone.
Today they are learning to be team players.
The Mission YMCA offers children the opportunity to learn the basics of sportsmanship and teamwork which can be transferred for the rest of their lives.. At the Mission YMCA, we strive to make sure that every child’s day brings about bigger and brighter achievements - but we can’t do it alone!
