Our Philosophy
An important component of YMCA Youth Sports is the concept of fair play and respect for oneself, one's opponent and others involved in competition. Players, volunteer coaches, officials, and spectators share a responsibility for fair play and good sportsmanship. Good sportsmanship for the YMCA is encompassed by the concept of positive character development.
The six pillars of character, trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship are standards we believe help teach participants that learning fundamentals, respecting others and having fun as a team is more valuable than winning every game. In YMCA sports, EVERY child plays, EVERY child wins!
Financial Assistance is made possible through the generous contributions from YMCA members and the community to our Strong Kids Campaign. Because of this, the YMCA is able to uphold its promise to never turn anybody way due to inability to pay. For an application, stop by the member service desk at the David YMCA or download a Financial Assistance Application Form. All applications are kept confidential.
