Find Your Fun, Find Your Game
At the Sumter Family YMCA, we offer a welcoming space where sports and recreation bring the community together. Our programs include year-round gymnastics and seasonal sports, providing a mix of fun, friendly competition, and skill-building opportunities. More than just learning the game, kids in Y-sports grow in character, as our volunteer coaches emphasize teamwork, fairness, and good values. With a focus on inclusion and personal growth, both kids and their families feel a sense of belonging, creating lasting friendships and unforgettable experiences. At the Y, everyone plays, and everyone wins!
Youth Basketball
Youth basketball here at the YMCA of Sumter offers a fun mix of team play and individual skill development. Every child gets the chance to play in safe, exciting games, with a focus on fair play, positive competition, and family involvement. Our volunteer coaches ensure the emphasis is on participation and fun. Parents can also get involved by volunteering as head coaches, assistant coaches, or scorekeepers. In addition to learning basketball fundamentals, kids build teamwork, sportsmanship, and friendships in a Christian environment. Teams practice once a week, with games during the week and a mini practice before each game. Sign up for more games and more fun this season.
