Youth Sports
The Rochester Area
Family Y believes that youth sports programs encourage and promote
healthy and strong kids, families and communities by placing a
priority on family involvement, healthy competition rather than
rivalry, the value of participation over winning, team building
as well as individual development, a positive self-image and a
sense of fair play and mutual respect for others. The Y's four core values
are incorporated into every sport - respect, responsiblity, caring,
honesty. Volunteer coaches are always needed for our Youth Sports programs!
