IT'S TIME FOR TIPOFF! 🏀
Winter Basketball registration is open! Athletes improve their dribbling, shooting, passing and defensive skills and the effects of YMCA basketball will last long after your child leaves the court. They’ll learn the value of teamwork, make new friends, and develop a love for an active lifestyle that can last a lifetime.
Now is the perfect time for your child to continue their summer swim progress! 🌊
Summer is officially over, outdoor pools are closed and the weather will soon be chilly — cold-weather-months are actually the perfect time to sign your kids up for indoor swim lessons.
FALLelujah! Cooler weather is finally here and our preschoolers are ready for the fall season! #HarrisYPreschoolAcademy #PotentialBeginsHere
