Sports at the Y provide a safe, clean, and fun environment so your family can get back to enjoying the activities you love.
Many sports are included with a Family Membership. We offer income-based discounts to any family that makes less than $60K/year. Contact your local branch for more information. To improve league experience and offset increasing site costs, we have implemented a $25 non-refundable registration fee for all youth sports, for the Fall 2025 season.
Each player registered for a team sport will need a jersey. You can purchase a reversible jersey at your local branch for $20. This jersey can be used & re-used for all team sports at the Y: Micro through 6th grade.
