Physical Activities for Kids (0-12 years)

Get your kids moving with our sports courses.

At the YMCA, physical literacy is at the very core of our programs. Through our group and aquatic activities for kids, discover how we cultivate a sense of well-being in all participants, encourage having fun, and promote the adoption of healthy and active lifestyle habits from a young age.

Using a brand new format, we now offer a range of courses (basketball, soccer, badminton, multisport, yoga, martial arts etc.)  to introduce children between the ages of 6 and 11 to basic motor skills and sports.

This program offers a variety of classes from beginner and introductory to ongoing participation. Every course is tailored to the age and ability of your child. Structured around a guided progression and skill evaluation, your kids will develop while having a great time!

Grounded in the concepts of physical literacy, classes have been specifically designed to develop not only kids' physical skills, but also their confidence, motivation, understanding and knowledge so that they may develop a desire to move from an early age.
