What's new at Brace Family YMCA?

NFL Flag Football - Youth Sports 2025

Youth Sports

More than just a game!

At the Y, kids who play sports gain more than athletic skills—they grow as individuals. Our fall sports leagues (NFL Flag Football, Soccer, and Volleyball) help young athletes stay active while building confidence, learning teamwork, and overcoming challenges. With the support of encouraging coaches, every player learns what it means to compete with heart, grow through effort, and belong to something bigger.

Group Exercise

More Fun Together!

Find the fit for you with our over 100 group exercise classes. Whether you're into strength training, high-energy cardio, or relaxing mind-body workouts, we’ve got a group exercise class that fits your vibe. Join us and move with a community that motivates…. Because fitness is more fun together!

Swim Lessons

At the Brace YMCA, swim lessons go beyond learning to swim. Our certified instructors guide swimmers of all ages through water safety basics and essential skills in a supportive setting. Small class sizes and a warm, welcoming atmosphere help every swimmer feel comfortable, build confidence, and grow at their own pace.
