NHL STREET
Stick in hand, sneakers on—it’s time to hit the “rink”! This beginner-friendly floor hockey program introduces kids to the fundamentals of the game in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. Through exciting drills and mini-games, players will learn how to pass, shoot, and move with confidence. No experience? No problem! We’re here to build skills, teamwork, and a love for the game—one slapshot at a time!
Y Basketball
Children of all skill levels are welcomed to make friends, experience teamwork, and find a love for basketball at the Y. They’ll learn ball-handling techniques and practice passing and shooting drills. At the end of each class, players can try out the defensive and offensive strategies they’ve learned in half- and full-court matches.
Y Dance
Does your young performer love to dance? Have them join us for a session full of music, movement, and fun! We welcome children of any skill level to build self-esteem and confidence as they make friends and learn fundamental dance skills. A combination of musical games and dances will help them enhance their balance, coordination, and footwork.
Y Multisport
We're serving up some serious fun for kids who love fast-paced games and trying new things! This program rotates through three exciting racquet sports that build agility, coordination, and quick thinking: Pickleball (a mix of tennis, ping-pong, and badminton), Badminton (fast volleys and high-flying birdies), and Speedminton (no net and lightning-fast rallies).
Y Soccer
No matter their skill level, every child is welcome to play soccer indoors with us and enhance their stamina, agility, and overall balance through dribbling, passing, and kicking drills. Basic defensive and offensive plays will highlight the importance of teamwork in a positive and supportive space. At the end of each class, children will be able to play matches with their friends.

All children with a passion for basketball are invited to become more confident in their abilities by participating in skill-building drills and fun activities.

Y Dance
We invite all children with a passion for dance and music to get up and learn with us, whether they’ve danced competitively or just for fun. The goal of Y Dance is to establish a solid foundation for dancing expression through the implementation of basic and, with time, complex motion skills. Our dancing activities will develop your child’s upper-lower body coordination, as well as their gross and fine motor skills.

Enjoy some time to yourself on Fridays knowing your children are having a blast in a safe environment supervised by caring and engaging leaders. Children ages 6–12 can bring their friends or make new ones as they chat, laugh, and play in the pool. They'll end the night with an entertaining movie accompanied by popcorn and pizza (included in overall pricing), so they’ll come home settled down and ready for bed.
Registration for this program is weekly, so you can choose which weeks to attend. Registration closes at 5 p.m. on the day of the program.
