Youth Sports
The YMCA is often thought of for its pools and wellness centers, but, it’s history of sport runs deep. Basketball and volleyball were both invented in the 1890’s by YMCA participants. We carry on the legacy of these sports and more at the Greensburg YMCA. Our youth sport programs put the FUN in fundamentals; we believe that tomorrows great athletes are shaped today through sport programs that focus on skill development, sportsmanship, and character building. Our philosophy stems from the belief that children will learn competition later in life and therefore each child will participate throughout the session.
