Youth Sports & Enrichment At the YMCA we believe that youth programs should provide opportunities for learning, participating and enjoying. Our programs emphasize the following practices: •    Safety and age appropriate progressive skill development •    Teamwork and sportsmanship - we keep winning in perspective. •    Participation – we aim to provide opportunities for children to participate in a variety of sports and activities, without the pressure of competition or specialization. •    Staff who model and teach the YMCA values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. •    Fun! Character Development The YMCA believes that character development, focusing on the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, is an essential element of a sports or enrichment program. Caring To love others and be sensitive to the well being of others involved in the sports program. Honesty To have integrity, making sure that one’s actions match one’s values through participation in sports. Respect To value the worth of every person, including oneself, one’s teammates, opponents, and officials. Responsibility To be accountable for one’s behavior and obligations. The following programs are offered throughout the year at the Sussex County YMCA. Some programs are offered seasonally.
