Youth Sports
Team sports at the Y build character and self-esteem. Participants cultivate values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Kids will not only learn the fundamentals and how to work together on a team, but also who they are and what they can achieve.
Our programs include soccer, basketball, dance programs, martial arts, and more. We also offer more advanced classes for children who have taken our sports classes before.
View our Program Guide to learn more about the youth sports we offer.
Neighborhood Music School Program
The NMS Early Childhood Program gives younger children their first introduction to the joy of music and movement through classes that are fun and age-appropriate. The developmentally based program enhances motor, aural and social skills, laying the foundation for future music and dance education.
Session Dates: September
Cost:
$150 per 8-week session
Making Music II (15-24 months)
Action packed and full of early gross motor development skills! These new “walkers” and “movers” explore music through much movement. Walking, running, tip-toeing and jumping are practiced during class with an emphasis on beat keeping. Continued instrument exploration is fostered and new musical games and songs are introduced that cater to babies’ early language development.
Day & Time:
Tuesday: 11:00 – 11:45 am
Making Music III (25-36 months)
A rich, language-based curriculum that is designed to foster early dramatic and imaginative play. New gross motor skills are explored, such as galloping and group circle dances. Early note reading and instrument orchestrations are developed and musical phrasing and form are introduced.
Day & Time:
Tuesday: 10:00 – 10:45 am
Making Music for 3 and 4 year olds
A world of dramatic and imaginative play is the common thread throughout these preschool aged classes. Pitch, rhythm and beat keeping are further expanded through stories, games, and instrument play. Also, a focus on gross motor with new movements such as skipping, leaping, and hopping.
